Article snippet: WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden is staffing up as he launches his presidential camapign. Biden has hired Symone Sanders, a prominent African American political strategist, as a senior adviser, and Olympic figure skating legend Michelle Kwan, as a surrogates director. The moves add younger, diverse voices to Biden’s cadre of top advisers, which has been dominated by older white men. It suggests Biden is seeking to broaden his appeal to a new generation of Democrats. Sanders, 29, rose to prominence during the 2016 campaign as press secretary for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. She then became a high-profile political analyst on CNN and is likely to be a forceful Biden defender on television. Sanders has been heavily recruited by 2020 contenders. She had a lengthy meeting with the former vice president a few weeks ago and he followed up with a job offer. Kwan worked for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016 in a similar role to the one she will be holding for Biden, acting as a liasion to high-profile supporters. She voiced her support for the former vice presidentin an Instagram post on Thursday. “He’s the candidate that I’m proud to support because he will do what it takes to restore the soul of this nation, rebuild the backbone of the country, and unify America,” she wrote.
