The Biden administration on Friday confirmed White House communications director Kate Bedingfield will step down soon, coming months after the move was announced.
“Since my time as Vice President, Kate has been a loyal and trusted adviser, through thick and thin,” President Joe Biden said in a statement that confirmed her departure. “She was a critical strategic voice from the very first day of my presidential campaign in 2019 and has been a key part of advancing my agenda in the White House. The country is better off as a result of her hard work and I’m so grateful to her—and to her husband and two young children—for giving so much. Ben has big shoes to fill.”
