Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy on Thursday pressed Joe Biden’s Press Secretary, Jen Psaki about the sudden resignation of several Kamala Harris’ White House Staff recently.
“People are reportedly going to be leaving the vice president’s office soon. Is the vice president not satisfied with the staffing she has had so far or do people just not want to work for her anymore?” Doocy asked.
“Well, Peter, I would say that working on a presidential campaign, maybe covering one too, I would say, to be fair, and working in the first year of a White House is exciting and rewarding but it’s also grueling and exhausting. It’s all of those things at once.” Psaki replied.
“In my experience, if you look at past precedent, it’s natural for staffers who have thrown their heart and soul into a job to be ready to move on to a new challenge after a few years and that is applicable to many of these individuals.” She added.
Harris’ Senior Advisor and Spokesperson Symone Sanders gave her resignation on Wednesday. She will officially end her term by the end of the year.
Sanders is not the only Harris staffer that has resigned in recent days.
Peter Velz, the Director of press operations and the deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, Vince Evans have also confirmed their resignations recently according to a Washington Post report.
Back in June 2021, there were reports of Harris staffers unhappy with the office environment and low-level staffers calling their experience “poor treatment” by the Vice President and her senior staff.
“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment. It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like shit.” According to a report.
