But the White House communications team faces a different set of problems as the president is suffering low approval ratings and questions about his health and mental abilities.

Riley previously worked as the Deputy Communications Director for the Biden-Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and also worked for Walsh as an associate press secretary when he was Mayor of Boston. She also helped Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign as an organizing director.

Riley’s departure from the White House is the second in just a week for the Biden-Harris team.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ communications director Ashley Etienne also quit on Thursday, as the vice president continues struggling with bad headlines.
