[This is from April. Jan]

Another staff member of Vice President Kamala Harris is jumping ship. Reuters reported on an internal staff memo sent out Monday that was obtained by the media outlet. Michael Fuchs served as foreign policy advisor to former President Bill Clinton and worked in senior positions at the U.S. State Department under Obama.

Fuchs served as Harris’s deputy chief of staff and “advised Harris one domestic and international issues, helped manage staff and often accompanied her on foreign trips” reports Reuters. Fuchs will remain in his current role until early May when a replacement is found in order to “ensure a smooth transition.”

One clever Twitter user responded that Kamala Harris doesn’t “give a Fuchs.” That may in fact be the case, as multiple reports have indicated the Vice President holds down a very toxic office environment. Fuchs is the eleventh notable member of her team to quit since she took office, not more than 12 months ago.

Reuters also reported that Harris will be hiring a new chief speechwriter, who used to work as an editorial director at Gates Ventures, where she was a speechwriter for Bill Gates. Meghan Groob will join team Harris and replace Harris’s director of speechwriting, who left at the end of February. Groob was also a senior speechwriter in the Obama administration.

Fox News reports of the veep’s other departed staffers:

Fuchs’ exit follows those of others including deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh, chief spokesperson Symone Sanders, deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs Vincent Evans, director of Harris’ press operations Peter Velz, vice presidential national security adviser Amb. Nancy McEldowney, and director of speechwriting Kate Childs Graham.
