Quentin Fulks, a Democratic operative who most recently ran Senator Raphael Warnock’s 2022 re-election campaign in Georgia, will serve as her principal deputy.

Biden tapped Julie Chávez Rodríguez, a senior White House adviser and granddaughter of the iconic labor leader Cesar Chávez, as his campaign manager. Now his team can assemble the formal structure of a campaign organization and raise money to finance it. Biden stoked renewed speculation by delaying his kickoff for months. While he had repeatedly and consistently said he intended to run, Mr. Biden’s intentions and effectively cleared the way to another nomination for the president, barring unforeseen developments. The official declaration finally ended any lingering suspense over Mr. “Let’s finish the job,” he said, repeating his slogan of late to a crowd that obligingly chanted, “Four more years!” Biden focused more on bread-and-butter issues, boasting of his record of creating jobs and financing new roads and bridges.

In a speech later in the day to a supportive labor group in Washington, Mr. Tomasi and illustrator Sara Duvall show the building of the Brooklyn Bridge as it has never been seen before, and the marriage of the Roeblings-based on intellectual equality and mutual support-that made the construction of this iconic structure possible.“When I ran for president four years ago,” he added, “I said we were in a battle for the soul of America. In this inspiring graphic novel, author Peter J. Washington’s wife, Emily Roebling, took his place running the work site, deftly assuming the role of chief engineer, supervising the project and overseeing the workers, contractors, a hostile press, and greedy city politicians-an unusual position for a woman to take on at the time. As work on the bridge went on, Washington developed caisson disease, leaving him bedridden for the majority of the bridge’s 14-year construction. The Brooklyn Bridge was originally designed by John Augustus Roebling, but it was his son, Washington, and his daughter-in-law, Emily, who oversaw the bridge’s construction. More than 130 years after its completion, the Brooklyn Bridge remains one of the most extraordinary landmarks and symbols of Brooklyn and New York City-and the story behind this architectural marvel is just as extraordinary.
