Jill Biden’s Press Secretary Heading for the Exit Weeks After She Compared Hispanic Community to Tacos

The Biden White House has a serious employee retention issue when it comes to the communications team.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have seen communications staffers run for the exits like a kid running to catch the ice cream truck.

And it makes sense. Who would want to have to clean up gaffes and what seem like policy changes on an almost daily basis after being promised that this was the administration where the adults would be back in the room, that was professional and experienced?

Now, the bleeding of the communications team is extending to First Lady Jill Biden.

Michael LaRosa, who has served as her press secretary since 2019, is leaving his position to join Hamilton Place Strategies – a public affairs firm.

The first lady told CNN, “For nearly three years, from the campaign to the White House, Michael has brought an encyclopedic knowledge of politics and media to my team as my spokesperson and adviser.”

“On a small team, loyalty and friendship are lifelong – we will miss Michael. However, we are excited for him to begin a new chapter in his career,” she added.

CNN notes that LaRosa’s departure “has been known inside the East Wing for the last several weeks.”
