Biden Administration: Here's Who Has Been Named So Far

President-elect Joe Biden is assembling his inner circle of advisers and Cabinet officials, despite President Trump's continued dismissal of the validity of the election.

Within a week after gaining the electoral votes needed to win the presidency, Biden announced that adviser and lawyer Ron Klain would be his chief of staff. Klain is the first official to be formally named by Biden.

Biden has since announced a slew of close advisers who will head key parts of his White House operation. He has named former campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon as his deputy chief of staff. O'Malley Dillon is the first woman to head a winning Democratic presidential campaign.
