By Nandita Bose
WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) -Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has added three new senior advisers, including top strategists who guided former President Barack Obama's two winning presidential bids, a source with direct knowledge told Reuters on Friday.
David Plouffe, who was manager of Obama's presidential campaign in 2008 and a senior aide during his 2012 victory, joined Harris' campaign for president as a senior adviser, the source said.
The Harriscampaign is also being joined by Stephanie Cutter, a Democratic communications veteran, who previously served as Obama's White House communications director and deputy campaign manager. She will join the campaign as senior adviser on strategy messaging.
Cutter's firm is on contract to produce the Democratic National Convention in August.
Other Obama alums joining the campaign include Mitch Stewart, who worked on both Obama campaigns, and will come in as senior adviser on battleground states.
David Binder, who led Obama's public opinion research operation, will expand his role on the Harris campaign to lead the opinion research operation.
All of the new hires will report to Harris campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon, another veteran of Obama's two campaigns, who managed Biden's 2020 campaign and built his 2024 operation from the White House.
