Biden
for President
(page updated April 16,
2021)
Headquarters:
Philadelphia, PA.
Attention
Readers: This page is the general election edition. After a period of quiescence
in March/April 2020 the campaign picked up its activity in
late April, when it started showing more of an orientation
towards the general election. On April 24 the campaign's
joint fundraising agreement with the DNC went into effect,
on April 29 the campaign announced addition of another
deputy campaign manager, on April 30 the campaign
announced the vice presidential selection committee, and
in the first part of May the campaign made more staff
additions. In the latter part of June the
campaign started adding state leadership staff, and
throughout July and August many more staff were added and
at the national level a pod
structure developed. In building out
the national team and the state teams during the summer,
the campaign brought on many staffers who had worked on
campaigns of Biden's former rivals.
Additionally there was a strong emphasis on diversity,
with many people of color and women joining the
campaign. On Aug. 11 the vice presidential team was
added. In Sept. the campaign added a bunch of state
directors in non-battleground states. Ultimately
Biden for President had 875-plus staff; due to the
pandemic most national staff worked remotely. On top
of the Biden staff, the Democratic
National Committee coordinated campaign
added about 3,000 staff. Through August the national
convention committee worked closely
with the campaign. Separate from the campaign,
the transition team
was at work. Also see the primary
election edition, which covers the
first year of the campaign from launch in
April 2019 through the contested primaries to
end of April 2020.

The campaign focused on 17 battleground states. In the latter part of June the campaign started adding state leadership staff in these key states. Due to the pandemic the campaign's field efforts in the states were virtual, mainly phonebanking and texting, through to the end of September. The campaign did start experimenting a bit with in-person events in the latter part of August; in particular there were a number of drive-in watch events around the convention, and the campaign resumed candidate travel at the end of August and after Labor Day. In Sept. the campaign added a bunch of state directors in non-battleground states. On Oct. 1 the AP reported, "Biden this weekend will dispatch several hundred newly trained volunteers to engage voters across Nevada, Michigan, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. The effort, focusing on voters who are considered difficult to reach by phone, is expected to spread into several more battleground states and include many more volunteers in the next few days and weeks." In the pandemic environment, national headquarters set the rules on what the state campaign organizations could do. At the state level, as one operative put it, the leadership was "hyperfocused on navigating the balance between virtual and in-person campaigning." There was variation among the states depending on the severity of the pandemic and state and local regulations, but the focus was on keeping people safe.
