Former Assistant press secretary Vedent Patel, the former White House rapid response director Mike Gwin and former chief of staff Amanda Finney also left the press team in 2022. All three left in June.
Over the last two years, the Biden administration also saw the departure of deputy director of communications Pili Tobar, White House staff secretary and deputy assistant to Biden Jessica Hurtz and deputy press secretary TJ Ducklo.
Most recent departures in the Biden administration, which occurred after the 2022 midterm elections, include Biden’s communications director, Kate Bedingfield, whose departure was announced Feb. 10, as well as Biden’s first chief of staff Ron Klain, whose departure was announced in January. A Biden administration top cyber official, Chris Inglis, also announced his departure Feb. 16. All three had been with the administration since Bident took office.
