The exodus from The Office of the Vice President continues unabated. The latest staffer to depart is her National Security Adviser Nancy McEldowney. That makes what, ten advisors finding employment elsewhere thus far?<\/p>\n
McEldowney has some 30 years experience in the foreign diplomatic service, including an ambassador-ship. Yet just over a year in the harness and she needs to *cough* spend more time with her family.<\/p>\n

Nandita Bose<\/strong><\/p>\n WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s National Security Adviser Nancy McEldowney is stepping down from her role and will be succeeded by her deputy Philip Gordon, according to an internal staff memo seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n Both McEldowney and Gordon have worked for Harris since she took office and have advised the vice president and President Joe Biden on topics such as Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine, and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n They accompanied Harris on several foreign trips to Central America, Asia and Europe, and have played a key role in shaping her strategy outside the United States.<\/p>\n In the memo to staff, McEldowney said she is stepping down to “focus on some pressing personal matters” but will remain an ardent advocate for Harris and the Biden administration.<\/p>\n “This was a difficult decision because I am so deeply committed to the work we do and the crucial national interest we serve. But after more than a year, this is the right decision for my family,” she said. She also noted she’s “not rushing out the door” but said the date of her last day was not immediately clear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
