Delaware County is no stranger to politics, so it’s not surprising that some Delaware County folks might end up working for a presidential campaign.
Meet Bill Russo, 32, raised in Havertown and Exton, who is now deputy communications director for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential bid, writes Julia Terruso for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Russo graduated from Malvern Prep and the University of Delaware.
He has been Biden’s spokesman since 2019 and an adviser to Biden’s national security team. He has served as associate director of administration in the Office of the Vice President and worked on the Dennis Spivack for Congress campaign in 2006.
Why Biden? “I’ve seen him inspire big crowds at rallies, but also seen him quietly comforting grieving families away from the cameras; he is in public who he is in private, which is authentic, sincere, and an incredibly decent human being.”
If Biden wasn’t running, Russo said he’d be working for The Philadelphia Flyers or running Gritty’s social media account.
His advice for appealing to Pennsylvania voters? “That would be like giving Rhys Hoskins advice on crushing homers. He knows the state. This is a place where people really value authenticity and sincerity.”
