The Biden-Harris transition team announced Thursday that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will name Tina Flournoy to be her chief of staff, and add Rohini Kosoglu as domestic policy adviser and Nancy McEldowney as national security adviser. All three women will bring years of Washington experience to their jobs, and add to Harris' so far all-women team.

Flournoy has decades of political experience, starting as an adviser to Rev. Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign in the 1988 along with Donna Brazile and other Black women. Flournoy was later chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton, and held leading roles in Al Gore's presidential campaign, the 1992 Clinton transition, the Democratic National Convention, and more. Kosoglu has meanwhile been Harris' chief of staff on the Senate and in her presidential campaign. McEldowney has years of foreign policy experience, including as ambassador to Bulgaria during the George W. Bush administration.

Harris earlier this week named Symone Sanders and Ashley Etienne, both Black women, to lead her communications team. Sanders was a top adviser to President-elect Joe Biden on the campaign trail, while Etienne advised both former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
