Biden administration loses 3 top staffers from press office

President Joe Biden’s press team has three new vacancies after a trio of top staffers have decided to leave the outward-facing operations of the administration. Rapid-response director Mike Gwin, Assistant Press-Secretary Vedant Patel, and press team Chief of Staff Amanda Finney all left Biden’s press core in the span of a week.

All three staffers will join other government departments. Gwin will join the Department of Treasury, Patel leaves the White House for the State Department, and Finney will make a debut with the Energy Department, according to The Daily Caller.

Turnover in the Biden Administration isn't new nor is it likely to stop after these departures. Last year, Vice President Kamala Harris had more than a dozen top aides leave her office. White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is rumored to be making a departure sometime after the November midterm elections.

While these exists aren’t necessarily unique to Biden’s White House, reports of internal frustration have begun to circulate externally. Additionally, as Biden’s public perception continues to suffer, the turnover—especially in terms of his press core—isn’t likely to do him any favors.

With the loss of Jen Psaki, now working with MSNBC, and other high-ranking officials, Biden will have to depend on a relatively new team to carry the administration’s outward-facing relations.

According to Reuters, the president’s administration is suffering from dipping approval ratings as an increasing number of Americans struggle with things like inflation, shortages, and rising costs of energy. In a June 1st release, 52 percent of Americans say they disapprove of the president while only 42 percent say they agree positively assess Biden’s time in office.
