Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has bolstered its ranks with the addition of three senior advisers, sources revealed to Reuters on Friday.

David Plouffe, who orchestrated Obama's victorious 2008 campaign and served as a senior aide in 2012, joins Harris's team as a senior adviser. Stephanie Cutter, a veteran in Democratic communications and former White House communications director under Obama, will advise on strategy messaging. Mitch Stewart, another Obama campaign alum, will focus on battleground states.

David Binder, known for leading Obama's public opinion research, will expand his role within the Harris campaign. These strategic additions will report to campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon, who played a pivotal role in managing Biden's successful 2020 campaign and shaping his 2024 agenda.
