Biden, Harris announce additional members of National Economic Council
President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris announced new members of their National Economic Council on Monday morning in a press release, expanding the group that will work alongside Brian Deese and other forthcoming staff.
Biden and Harris appointed Joelle Gample as the Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. They also selected David Kamin as the Deputy Director for the National Economic Council and Bharat Ramamurti as the Deputy Director for the National Economic Council for Financial Reform and Consumer Protection.
Kamin previously joins the long list of Obama White House alumni returning to a Biden administration. He previously served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and also worked as special assistant, and later adviser, to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Ramamurti comes to Biden’s administration with ties to Sen. Elizabeth Warren. He served as an economic adviser to Warren during her 2020 presidential campaign and senior counsel for banking and economic policy in her Senate office.
