Biden is promoting Navtej Dhillon to deputy director of the National Economic Council, which is led by Lael Brainard, according to senior administration officials who revealed the move on condition of anonymity. Dhillon most recently served as NEC chief of staff. The president is also hiring Mike Konczal as a special assistant for economic policy, the officials said.
