The same people who have been running it since 2020. I’m not an expert but the part of it I’ve watched most closely has been the administration policy on Ukraine, where it is evident a group of academic “escalation managers” led by Jake Sullivan have had the running. I assume similar to be the case in other policy areas.
I still believe the original intention was to parachute Harris into the job just short of this election so Biden would see out one term (more or less) while giving her the advantage of incumbency going into November 2024. But at some point those close to him have realised they quite liked running the country and persuaded themselves - and then him - to fight on. Presumably the idea then was to hand it over to her at some point mid the next term.
