Vice President Kamala Harris’ communications director, Ashley Etienne, is resigning from her position.
A White House official told Fox News, “Ashley is a valued member of the Vice President’s team, who has worked tirelessly to advance the goals of this administration,” adding, “She is leaving the office in December to pursue other opportunities.”
The outlet noted Etienne previously served as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) communications director twice.
Her resignation comes as the vice president’s approval rating continues to drop. A poll from USA Today and Suffolk University released earlier this month found Harris’ approval rating stood at 28%.
A total of 51% said they disapprove of Harris’ job performance. CNN also reported on interviews with several in Harris’ circle who claim “she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined.”
Some in the Biden administration have come to Harris’ defense. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told Politico she believes Harris is being criticized because of her identity, as IJR reported.
