Kate Bedingfield, the White House communications director, is leaving the White House and is expected to play a role in President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign
. Ben LaBolt, a top Democratic communications professional who served in the Obama White House, will replace Bedingfield as communications director, the White House said. LaBolt also worked with the Biden White House during the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The White House said LaBolt will be the first out gay White House communications director.
The White House communications director, with a dedicated office in the West Wing, is responsible for the overall publicity and messaging strategy for the president. As Biden nears a decision on running for reelection, he will be working to sell his achievements to the American people, a majority of whom say in polls he hasn’t accomplished much. “Ben has big shoes to fill,” Biden said in his statement.
