Kamala Harris’ national security adviser is latest VP staffer to resign
Security advisor Nancy McEldowney reportedly said in a memo that she was stepping down to “focus on some pressing personal matters.”

Nancy McEldowney, who has worked for Harris since she took office, will be replaced by her deputy Philip Gordon, said an internal memo obtained by Reuters on Monday.
McEldowney reportedly said in the memo that she was stepping down to “focus on some pressing personal matters.” “This was a difficult decision because I am so deeply committed to the work we do and the crucial national interest we serve,” she wrote. “But after more than a year, this is the right decision for my family.” It wasn’t immediately clear when McEldowney’s resignation would take effect, though she said she wasn’t “rushing out the door.” A senior administration official told Reuters her last day hasn’t yet been confirmed.
McEldowney, a former ambassador to Bulgaria and onetime director of the State Department’s Foreign Service Institute, had advised both Harris and President Biden on a range of global issues — including the withdrawal from Afghanistan, negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Another Harris staffer runs for the door.
Given the how badly the three topic areas mentioned have gone, this may be a very good change.
