Vice President Harris' communications director, Ashley Etienne, will be leaving her White House role next month, an official confirmed to The Hill on Thursday.

"Ashley is valued member of the Vice President’s team, who has worked tirelessly to advance the goals of this administration," a White House official said in a statement. "She is leaving the office in December to pursue other opportunities."

Her departure comes in the aftermath of multiple reports of frustration about how Harris is being used in the Biden administration. Harris's 2020 presidential campaign was also reportedly marred by staffing issues, and she eventually withdrew from the race prior to the Iowa caucus.

Etienne joined the vice president's team when Harris took office in January. She previously served as communications director for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and worked in the Obama administration before that.

3. The media came up with it, and there's no evidence it's true.

I don't hear Kamala Harris opposing Biden. Do you? All I see is a lot of lying and yapping by the media, looking to manufacture outrage against the first woman VP, also the first person of color to be VP. Coincidence? I think not.
