CNN — Longtime Biden aide Anita Dunn is leaving the White House next week, according to a source familiar, and joining a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. This marks the first big departure from the White House in the wake of President Joe Biden’s decision to step down from the 2024 Democratic ticket.

Biden thanked Dunn for her work at the White House in a statement Tuesday, calling her “an invaluable part of our White House.” Dunn is departing the White House to serve as a senior adviser to Future Forward and Future Forward USA Action. The Washington Post first reported her departure.

“She’s tough and tested, and her experience and intellect have helped us deliver historic results for the American people,” Biden said. “I deeply value her counsel and friendship and I will continue to rely on her partnership and insights as we finish the job over the next six months.”

Dunn called it an “an honor and privilege to serve in this White House” in a statement to CNN. “I am grateful to President Biden and Vice President Harris for their leadership and giving me the opportunity to be part of what they have accomplished for the American people.”

1. Remember how Rachel Maddow had a HUGE and impossibly long list of everyone in Trump's administration *

* who were fired or who resigned? The list grew and grew and grew... and eventually the font was so small that it was illegible on the monitors that were displayed behind her desk on the show's set.

People come and go, it's they way of politics... but from what I can see, the Biden administration has been very stable and consistent.

2. I remember that - didn't Rachel finally run out of wall space?
