“Mike” is among the five most common words uttered by US President Joe Biden during his daily conversations. Who is this person and why is his name always repeated?
It is the 62-year-old adviser, Mike Donilon, who has known Biden for more than 40 years, and he knows the president more than he knows himself, according to what The Times quoted today, Saturday, as an opinion pollster.
He is also the last person to review every presidential speech or communication before it reaches Biden's office, despite the inner circle supporting the president, most notably Chief of Staff Ron Klein, now Chief of Staff Bruce Reed, and advisor to the president Steve Ritchetti.
Commenting on these data, an insider said that Mike is the closest to Biden's alternate "ego", and certainly the most confident and influential.
He also added that the sixtieth man helps Biden to be more decisive in making some important decisions, noting that he has helped him so far in issuing a greater number of orders and executive procedures than his three predecessors combined.
Mike was the first person Biden invited in 2017, after he decided to run for president.
As chief strategist for the presidential campaign, he advised Biden to stay out of the fray with the news media, insisting that "Twitter is not the electorate."
Mike also stuck to his belief that Americans want a quieter and less intrusive leader, referring to former President Donald Trump's taunting of Biden when he called him "Sleeping Joe", describing him at the time as someone of limited intelligence.
It is noteworthy that Biden chose Mike Donilon to serve as one of his advisers in November 2020, who engineered his campaign strategy.
