Another day, another Kamala Harris aide leaves her to flee the sinking ship. Vincent Evans, who was Harris’ deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs, has taken a job at the Congressional Black Caucus. Can’t say I really blame him.
Evans’ announcement comes after Ashley Etienne left Harris’ office as its former communications director. Symone Sanders, former senior advisor and chief spokesperson for the vice president, also departed at the end of last year.
News of Etienne’s departure followed CNN’s damaging report in which it was alleged that cracks had begun to former in the relationship between Harris and President Joe Biden.
“Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now,” CNN reported at the time.
“Many in the vice president’s circle fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined,” the establishment media outlet added. “The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she’s able to do politically.”
