Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Beto O'Rourke set to hire ex-Obama aide Jen O'Malley Dillon to run campaign
CNNA week after launching his presidential bid, Beto O'Rourke is poised to hire veteran Democratic strategist Jen O'Malley Dillon to lead his campaign, officials familiar with the discussions told CNN, a move that puts a former top aide to President Barack Obama at the helm of the O'Rourke campaign.
O'Malley Dillon, a deputy campaign manager for Obama's re-election effort in 2012, met with O'Rourke earlier this month in Texas before he jumped into the race. Since then, the campaign raised more than $6 million on its first day and the former congressman from Texas embarked on a tour of a half-dozen states.
O'Malley Dillon, who is seen as one of the party's sharpest data experts, had been planning to head a new data exchange operation for Democrats. The effort was designed to help the party overcome its deficit with Republicans on using voter data to identify supporters and drive turnout.
But she decided this week to work for the O'Rourke campaign instead, people familiar with the matter say, a fast-growing operation that is attracting the support and advice of several former Obama advisers.

Newly announced Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke is looking for a campaign manager, CNN reports; and he has begun discussions with veteran Democratic strategist Jen OMalley Dillon, who previously served as deputy campaign manager for President Barack Obamas re-election campaign, and as a top political consultant for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada.
