Vice President Kamala Harris’ communications director resigned Thursday amid record-low poll numbers for Harris.
Most recently in charge of PR for Harris, Ashley Etienne was a longtime adviser for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) and worked in the Obama administration.

Etienne “is leaving the office in December to pursue other opportunities,” according to the White House.
