As President Biden travels and attempts to change up his media interactions amid low approval ratings, Mariel Saez, the White House’s director of broadcast media, is set to leave her post after a year on the job.
CNN reports Saez, who has worked on both Biden’s presidential campaign and inaugural committee, will depart in the coming weeks.
It comes after a tenure steering officials to U.S. television hits and a relatively stable White House communications team. It also comes in the wake of a string of departures from Vice President Kamala Harris’ office.
The White House came out on record in praise of Saez and publicized quotes from Communications Director Kate Bedingfield regarding her ‘dedication’ and ‘strategic advice’ in order to prevent a similar narrative from taking hold within its own ranks.
‘It has been an honor to serve the President as Director of Broadcast Media, and I am grateful to my talented and dedicated colleagues at the White House and across the Administration who worked hand-in-hand with me to communicate the President’s priorities across broadcast media,’ A statement released by Saez read.
