“Emma Riley, the White House communications chief of staff, announced in a Friday tweet that she is leaving the West Wing and will be joining the Labor Department,” Fox News reported Saturday.
Riley noted on her social media account: “It was an honor and privilege to serve @POTUS and the American people at the @WhiteHouse. I’m excited to be moving down Pennsylvania Ave and traveling around the country with @SecMartyWalsh and @USDOL. Follow along on the road to #BuildBackBetter.”

Riley’s departure announcement comes after another one from the White House this week, per Fox News:
In addition to Riley’s departure from the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris’ communications director resigned on Thursday amid reports of turmoil within the East Wing.
Ashley Etienne, a longtime top adviser to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., served as Pelosi’s communications director twice, and also in the Obama White House.
“Ashley is a valued member of the Vice President’s team, who has worked tirelessly to advance the goals of this administration,” a White House official told the network. “She is leaving the office in December to pursue other opportunities.”
A CNN report last week provided a broader picture.
“Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns,” the network reported.
Citing “a complex reality inside the White House,” CNN reported further that many inside the veep’s circle of influence privately “fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined.”
“The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she’s able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden’s team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president,” CNN added.
“In interviews, 22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere,” the outlet reported.
Harris herself was implicated by several people who spoke to the outlet on condition of anonymity.
“It all starts at the top,” said one of the administration officials.
