Joe Klein: “Say a fond and expeditious farewell to the Biden team—and don’t staff your campaign the way Biden did. This was his greatest weakness. He hired people for loyalty and never fired them, not even when it was clear that their sell-by date had passed.”
“Most important, find at least one graybeard political veteran you trust—a peer—who can tell you when you’re wrong.
Biden never did. You don’t need a full-fledged Team of Rivals but please, please no Team of Subordinates.”
