job: 'I have earned a break'

Symone Sanders, the high-profile senior advisor and chief spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, dismissed any notion that she is leaving her position due to dissatisfaction and emphasized that she's "earned a break" after maintaining a rigorous work schedule over the past few years, per an interview with The Washington Post.

After last week's announcement that Sanders would soon depart her role with Harris — along with the expected exits of Peter Velz, the director of press operations, and Vince Evans, the deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs in Harris' office — some Democrats are beginning to worry about the turnover in the vice president's office.

With Harris seen as presumed Democratic presidential frontrunner in 2024 if President Joe Biden opts out of reelection and the natural leader of the party in 2028 if the president serves for two terms, all eyes are on the performance of the former California Attorney General and US senator.

Sanders, who was previously the national press secretary for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in 2016 and served as a senior advisor for Biden's 2020 presidential campaign, was one of the Harris' most notable staffing selections when her hiring was announced last November.

Guess some in the media like to stir the shit up

1. ok. I thought that name seemed familiar.

I wish folks would put this non-story away. It is intended to portray "disarray" and whatever the personal reasons of stepping away, who ever said these positions should be permanent? So long as Harris fills these posts with folks with skill and integrity, let's leave it.

2. Media shit-stirring is shit

Oh look...

September 2017 (less than one year after Trump was inaugurated):

Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary Marc Lotter is leaving the administration after eight months.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to continue to speak on behalf of the President and VP and serve them on the outside of the administration,” Lotter said in a Friday statement.

Don't see anything but praise in that article.

Oh, also...

June 2017:

Vice President Mike Pence is replacing his chief of staff, swapping one longtime aide for another in his first major staff change.

Josh Pitcock, who worked for Pence for a dozen years, is leaving the job at the end of the month. Pitcock worked for Pence both when he was a member of Congress and Indiana's governor.

the media pisses me off.

5. Bingo.

Staff always will come and go; it's completely normal. How it's perceived is all about tone, context, and framing.

3. Not just "the media" - we've got enough of our own here lauding "disarray of Dems" and

"speaking ill of Dem public figures" and "not supporting Dems".

7. I've never been a fan of hers.

I expected her to leave long before this.

Harris needs good loyal people working for her and not their own agenda.
