Kamala Harris' campaign staff moves represent a significant reorganization for the California senator’s bid, which is mired in single digits in the polls
Kamala Harris is shaking up the top ranks of her presidential campaign, the latest sign her once-promising bid is failing to meet expectations.
The campaign did not start holding regular senior staff meetings until September — nine months after launching — leading to a lack of coordination across departments. At one point, aides said, Harris hired executive coaches for senior campaign management to cope with the problems — a move viewed internally as a recognition of their collective inexperience.
Kosoglu, who has worked closely with the campaign on coordinating the senator’s scheduling, and Butler, are expected to report to Rodriguez under the new plan. It’s unclear who will step in to serve as Harris’ Senate chief of staff. Her heavy reliance on the high-dollar fundraising and recent difficulty in the digital fundraising space speak to broader structural dynamics in the campaign. Harris’ decision to run as a pragmatist rather than appealing more forcefully to the party’s progressive wing — combined with slumping debate and campaign trail performances since mid-summer — have affected her ability to gain traction with small-dollar donors.
