Some big is happening because high profile aides staffers and aides are running away from the Biden administration as fast as they can.
In the Vice President’s office alone, nine top staffers have left including Symone Sanders, who was Kamala’s senior advisor/chief spokesperson.
Now, Kamala’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Michael Fuchs has announced in an internal memo seen by Reuters that he is hitting the road. Fuchs is the 11th person to leave Harris in a little over a year.

It’s probably about time that Kamala hires a new speechwriter because the last person made her sound like she got hit with the stupid stick.

There is also turmoil going on inside the oval office as well, Press Secretary Jen Psaki is quietly trying to exit and her comms buddy Kate Bedingfield is right behind her.
It has been widely reported that Psaki is negotiating a deal similar to one that Symone Sanders got with MSNBC’s new streaming service.
From Axios:
Psaki has been in close consultation with the White House counsel’s office about her departure, according to two sources familiar with the plans. She’s been treading carefully on the ethics and legal aspects of her plans.
No contracts have been signed. Government ethics rules have stipulations about how public employees can pursue private sector job opportunities while in office.
She’s also told some senior officials at the White House about her departure and her plans to join MSNBC, according to two sources.
Psaki is now in exclusive talks with MSNBC, and the deal is nearly final. It was reported by Puck last month that Psaki also had conversations with CNN and that other networks had expressed interest in signing her.
As the Hunter Biden story continues to have legs aides and staffers are jumping ship.
