White House signals heavy campaign travel for Biden

The White House has been adding more jobs to their scheduling and advance team, a sign that President Biden is ramping up for a robust travel schedule in the coming months as he readies for a fierce reelection battle against former President Donald Trump
Sources familiar with internal dynamics at the White House tell The Hill there have been additional job openings available, creating a larger advance team for the White House than in previous years.
The White House is directing its limited headcount, particularly prized during an election year, to the advance office, signaling travel as a priority.
“This is a sign of all systems go,” said one source familiar with the thinking of Biden and his team. “They’re preparing for what’s ahead and there’s going to be a lot of travel, a lot of messaging events in the near future.”
A White House official confirmed that several positions would be added to the team but would not provide an exact number. But the official said it’s a small percentage of the overall team at the White House.
