A top lieutenant to President Joe Biden, and a prominent veteran of the Obama administration, is preparing to leave her post at the White House.
Susan Rice, Biden's domestic policy chief, is stepping down as the president prepares to announce his campaign for reelection.
Rice, 58, previously served as the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (aka National Security Advisor) for the duration of then-President Obama's second term.
The decision ignited speculation on social media.
The Daily Wire further reports:
The White Houseย confirmedย on Monday thatย Rice, who has been serving the Biden administration as a domestic policy adviser, will exit that position just before the Memorial Day holiday weekend on May 26.
Rice has served in the Biden White House for more than two years in that capacity, and according to White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, has been instrumental in ensuring that the most important issues in Biden's domestic agenda have made it from the drawing board to Congress and then back to the president's desk for his final signature.
As NBCย reported, Rice has been in that significant role as Biden has signed a number of actions โ both legislative and executive โ on key Democratic issues ranging from health care and gun safety to police reform and student loans.
Rice, according to Zients, has taken Biden's Domestic Policy Council โto new heights.โ
Current and former Biden administration advisers like economist Brian Deeseย praised Rice's tenure while adding that the president intended to shift priorities heading into the 2024 campaign season.
