CNN —Longtime Biden aide Anita Dunn is leaving the White House next week, according to a source familiar, and joining a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. This marks the first big departure from the White House in the wake of President Joe Biden’s decision to step down from the 2024 Democratic ticket. Biden thanked Dunn for her work at the White House in a statement Tuesday, calling her “an invaluable part of our White House.”Dunn is departing the White House to serve as a senior adviser to Future Forward and Future Forward USA Action. “She’s tough and tested, and her experience and intellect have helped us deliver historic results for the American people,” Biden said. “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.”Dunn spent much of the Biden administration as one of the president’s closest advisers.
