Kamala Harris’ National Security Adviser Latest Staffer to Quit: ‘Her Office Has a Higher Turnover Than Taco Bell’

On Monday, in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris’ disastrous visit to Poland, it was reported that her National Security Adviser Nancy McEldowney, will become the latest staffer to leave Harris’ office.

According to Reuters, McEldowney, who advised not only Harris but also President Biden on foreign affairs including Afghanistan, Iran, and Ukraine, wrote in an internal memo that she was quitting in order to “focus on some pressing personal matters,” adding, “This was a difficult decision because I am so deeply committed to the work we do and the crucial national interest we serve. But after more than a year, this is the right decision for my family.”

Reuters noted McEldowney cautioned she was not “not rushing out the door.”

McEldowney’s announced departure follows on the heels of Harris’ Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, who revealed last week she was leaving. In February, Kate Childs Graham, the head of Harris’ speechwriting team, quit.

CNN pointed out, “Last year, communications director Ashley Etienne and press secretary Symone Sanders announced they would be vacating their positions. Those departures were followed by the exits of two additional staffers in the new year.”

Last June, after Harris’ trip to Central America, Harris’ Director of Advance Karly Satkowiak and Deputy Director of Advance Gabrielle DeFranceschi, also quit. Rajan Kaur, Harris’ director of digital strategies, quit in July.
