Anita Dunn, President Biden’s senior adviser, is leaving her White House post next week to move over to a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s fledgling campaign, the first major personnel move in the West Wing since the president dropped his bid for re-election.
Ms. Dunn, who coordinated communications strategy for Mr. Biden and has been one of his closest aides, will consult for Future Forward, the largest Democratic-leaning super PAC, which last week announced a $50 million advertising campaign to promote Ms. Harris in six critical battleground states.
“It’s been an honor and privilege to serve in this White House, with this president and this team, during this transformational term,” Ms. Dunn said in a statement.
“I am grateful to President Biden and Vice President Harris for their leadership and giving me the opportunity to be part of what they have accomplished for the American people.”In a brief telephone call, Ms. Dunn said she would be leaving the White House next Tuesday and not returning to her own consulting firm but would take on Future Forward as an independent consultant.
Ms. Dunn has been part of Mr. Biden’s orbit for years and was credited with helping to turn around his campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2020 after early defeats and stabilizing his White House communications strategy.
