Keisha Lance Bottoms will join the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden. She will fill a senior adviser role, according to The Hill.
Keisha Lance Bottoms rose to national prominence as the mayor of Atlanta from 2018 through 2022. During her time as mayor, Bottoms was named co-chair of the 2020 Democratic National Convention and spoke at the event. After completing her first term as mayor, she became the senior adviser for public engagement at the White House from 2022 to 2023.
“We often say that each election is the most important election of our lifetime,” Bottoms told EBONY.
“This one absolutely is. We spent four years tormented by the policies and erratic behavior of Donald Trump and another four years of promised retribution to his political enemies is just the tip of the iceberg of the chaos that he will once again bring to America.”
Bottoms joins the President’s re-election campaign as Joe Biden prepares for a showdown with his political foe in the town she once served. The first debate of the current presidential cycle is set to begin on Thursday, June 27 at 9 p.m. in Atlanta, Georgia.
