Bottoms, 52, who ended her term as Atlanta mayor early this
year, will become director of the White House Office of Public
Engagement, a position left open by the resignation in April of
Cedric Richmond, who left to become a senior adviser to the
Democratic National Committee.
Biden's Democrats are hoping to hang on to control of Congress
in the November elections, but with inflation raging and high
gasoline prices putting pressure on Americans' wallets,
Republicans are expressing confidence they will win control of
the House of Representatives and perhaps the Senate as well.
Bottoms, whose appointment was first reported by Axios, has told
the White House she will serve as least through the midterms,
the official said.
