President Biden would need to campaign for the Democratic nomination and then compete against the Republican nominee in next year's general election.
Later, the source clarified that Rodriguez was not told about the position from Biden himself. After speaking with over a dozen candidates, Rodriguez emerged as the top pick for the position among Biden's senior advisors and closest aides, the source added.
According to a second source, Rodriguez has been Vice President Kamala Harris' most important ally in the West Wing during her struggles to gain the support of the political establishment in Washington.
