Multiple times each day, President Biden dials up Mike Donilon, a close adviser since the 1980s...Mr. Biden will ask Mr. Donilon, who recently left the White House for the campaign's Delaware headquarters.
Once a week, Mr. Biden summons Ron Klain, his former chief of staff, to workshop the best attacks to use against former President Donald J. Trump as the presidential debate draws closer.
When he leaves for Delaware on weekends, Mr. Biden seeks out Ted Kaufman, a confidant who represents the president's ties to the state... Interviews with dozens of people close to the president reveal a truth at the heart of Mr. Biden's political life: While he is surrounded by a diverse and multigenerational crowd of campaign operatives, policy experts and cabinet secretaries, he reserves his full trust for a small circle of insiders who are the definition of old school.
