President Joe Biden’s communications director, Kate Bedingfield, is leaving the White House, marking another departure of a high-ranking communications official ahead of the midterm elections.

Bedingfield, who is set to leave in a matter of weeks, has begun informing colleagues of her departure, a senior administration official told POLITICO.

Her exit comes on the heels of Jen Psaki’s decision to step down as press secretary and during a period of internal uncertainty over the structure and makeup of the White House’s larger press operations. In addition to Psaki, a number of mid- and lower-level press aides have left in the past two months.

Democrats have grown openly critical of the Biden team’s communications strategy in recent weeks and months. Longtime Biden aide Anita Dunn recently returned to the White House as a senior adviser and has been working to shore up the operation.

Good; I've heard too many criticisms of WH Comms from Democratic Leadership.

1. And they'll all write books about their experiences and conflicts. Bonus for working in the WH

2. Don't know if this move will make a difference, but I do agree communications need improvement

3. Your comment about Dem Leadership complaining about WH Comms...

Dem Leadership, itself, would benefit from a comprehensive internal critique, on the same topic, and I’m not alone in that thought. Here’s hoping everyone gets their act together with cogent, pithy messages asap. It has never been more important.

4. They need to hurry up

.....with this communications revamp.

6. Democrats in general have communications problems.

Considering that most of Hollywood are Democrats or left leaning, it's ironic that we seem to have a problem with messaging.
