Politico wrote at the time that the rival campaigns of Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders had reported that about 40 percent of their full-time staff members were people of color. In the general election, Mr. Biden is running against President Trump, who counts virtually no people of color among his most trusted advisers, though his campaign said on Saturday that 25 percent of senior staff members are people of color. The campaign did not provide such a figure for its overall full-time staff, saying that information was not available. Polls show Mr. Biden dominating Mr. Trump among black voters and leading widely among Latinos. The Trump campaign also said on Saturday that 52 percent of its full-time staff members, and 56 percent of its senior staff members, are women.
