Mike Bloomberg adds Capricia Marshall, top Clinton ally, to 2020 campaign

• https://pagesix.com, By Emily Smith

After the news broke on Saturday that internal polling found that a Bloomberg-Clinton ticket "would be a formidable force" to try to take down President Trump, Bloomberg tweeted, "I would not be where I am today without the talented women around me. I've depended on their leadership, their advice and their contributions."

Now Page Six can reveal that Bloomberg has tapped DC-based Marshall, who was President Bill Clinton's White House social secretary from 1997 to 2001. Under the Obama administration, she served as chief of protocol of the United States — a sensitive diplomatic position bearing the rank of ambassador — from 2009 to 2013.

Prior to that, Marshall was a special assistant to Hillary when she was first lady in 1993. In 2006, Marshall worked on then-Sen. Hillary Clinton's re-election and then joined her presidential campaign in 2008.
