Make it Eight: Yet Another Kamala Harris Staffer to Leave White House
Over the course of several months, seven employees from the office of US Vice President Kamala Harris have stepped down from their positions. The exodus continues amid Harris' poor approval ratings and reports about the toxic atmosphere on her team.
Yet another high-ranking Kamala Harris staffer is getting ready to leave the White House: Kate Childs Graham, Harris' chief speechwriter, will quit at the end of the month, Fox News
reported, citing sources.
"Kate is leaving the office, but not the family. The vice president is grateful for her service to the administration," the source is quoted by Fox News as saying.
One of Graham's colleagues, Herbie Ziskend, who serves as Deputy Communications Director to the Vice President of the United States, commented on the speechwriter's upcoming departure.
"[Kate Childs Graham] is a star, and has been an integral part of Team VP during this first year. Kate is committed, hard-working, hilarious – a great colleague and friend," Ziskend tweeted. "I’ll miss working with her every day, but excited for her next adventure."
Graham herself is yet to comment on her decision to quit.
She is not the only one who has decided to part ways with Kamala Harris recently. Amid the unflattering media reports about the toxic atmosphere of the VP office, seven top officials have already resigned.
One of the most well-known names among those who have stepped down is Harris' ex-chief spokesperson Symone Sanders. She quit in December, shortly after a similar move was made by the VP's communications director Ashley Etienne, who said she resigned to "pursue other opportunities".
