President Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign unveiled a national advisory board Wednesday featuring 50 prominent Democrats.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will chair the panel, which includes some of Biden’s past rivals. Members of the board will amplify the president’s message in the media and boost fundraising efforts for him and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Successful campaigns are always innovating and finding new ways to get their message in front of voters and accomplish the ambitious goals we set for ourselves,” Biden-Harris spokesman Kevin Munoz said. “The Democratic Party is fortunate to have an incredible slate of passionate and compelling leaders.”
Other prominent Democrats on the board include Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Cory Booker (D-NJ) as well as Govs. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and J.B. Pritzker (D-IL).
Biden released a video teasing the added Democratic star power bolstering his campaign efforts.
“We have a few new folks joining the team to help get our message out across the country. You’ll be hearing a lot more from them soon — let’s finish the job!” he said.

Biden’s campaign said the slate of 50 is an “initial group” and that “more members [are] likely to come on board as the campaign builds and grows.”
At the moment, he is facing long-shot primary challenges from best-selling self-help author Marianne Williamson and environmental lawyer Robert Kennedy Jr. but holds a commanding lead over both in national polling.

The debut of the board comes three weeks after Biden announced his 2024 reelection bid.
“The stakes of this election couldn’t be higher,” Biden said in a statement about the board. “Our freedom and democracy are on the line. I’m grateful to this group of diverse and dynamic leaders who will help us win the battle for the soul of America and finish the job for the American people.”
