The Biden administration announced Friday that White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield will leave her role this month.
According to The Hill, Bedingfield has worked with Biden since his time as vice president.
Bedingfield, a longtime Biden aide dating back to his time as vice president, will be replaced by Ben LaBolt, who served as an Obama White House press official and most recently joined the Biden administration on a temporary basis to assist with communications around the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Bedingfield announced plans to step down as communications director last summer, but ultimately reversed her decision and opted to stay on through the rest of the year.
