Biden turns his focus from Sanders to Trump -- and rebooting his own campaign

A day after another string of dominant victories that moved him closer to the Democratic presidential nomination, Joe Biden’s campaign was working to reboot amid broad concerns within the party that his current operation is ill-equipped to match President Trump’s behemoth reelection effort.

Biden pulled off the most stunningly swift turnaround in modern political history with a relatively small staff, underwhelming fundraising and a campaign occasionally marked by dysfunction and turmoil.

After finishing fifth just four weeks ago in New Hampshire, there were questions about how his campaign could gracefully end. But Biden now has won at least 15 of the last 21 voting states, making him the candidate likeliest to face Trump in a highly polarized, extremely expensive general election.

Biden’s advisers are taking steps to expand virtually all parts of his shoestring campaign operation, from finance, field and communications departments to the senior leadership team, answering the concerns of senior Democrats who are bracing for a new wave of assaults from Trump.
