White House bracing for staff departures ahead of midterms

[Kyle]

Another departure includes Cedric Richmond, a former Democratic member of Congress from Louisiana who joined the White House as a senior adviser and director of the Office of Public Engagement


The White House is bracing for a staff shakeup as several aides plan to depart within the coming months as the midterm elections approach.

The most high-profile departure will be press secretary Jen Psaki, who is expected to leave in the weeks ahead to join MSNBC. Several other members of the White House press team are also expected to leave, sources told Reuters.

It's fairly standard for top White House officials to warn staff long before midterm and presidential elections that they should depart with plenty of lead time, or stay until the election is over, according to the Reuters report. But it is unclear whether Biden's chief of staff Ron Klain has issued such a memo.

Yeah, director of public engagement, how did he think that was going to turn out? Like handing a carpenter two warped 2.4s.....

Can't understand why MSNBC would hire someone like Psaki.
Her credibility is nil she is as fake as her red hair, and she is a liar.

On second thought, now I know why they will hire her.

Yesterday the crunt blamed Abbot for the NG man drowning since he sent him to the border. Bitch has no shame.

I hope that other National Guardsmen learn a lesson from this man's attempt to save people who turned out to be drug mules.
The man should at least be given some type of posthumous award for his heroism, but instead his story is largely being ignored because they want quiet about who is coming across the border.

I'm unclear as to WHY WH staff would have to run for cover in the event of a mid-term shellacking.

Scapegoat?

I mean, these huge kinds of sea change shifts get dumped on the Senate and House EVEN THOUGH the *cause* usually is the White House.
Both Clinton and Obama got their asses handed to them, because they pushed through legislation that the nation as a whole did not want, and had agendas either not very popular or HUGELY unpopular with the opposition.

So - rather than dump the President - a lot of Reps and Senators lose their jobs. I get it. They're perceived, probably correctly, as the enablers and executors of the President's agenda.

But White House staff? They get blamed? They are hired and fired at the will of the Chief Executive. That's not subject to the whims of voters.

So - why?

They aren't running for cover, they are moving on to cushy govt jobs in various govt orgs where they can sow more seeds of progress-ism. Working in the WH afforded them some great contacts and job ops.
