In a surprise move, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield announces that she changed her mind and will remain in that role
Bedingfield shared her decision in an email sent to her colleagues Friday afternoon. Bedingfield wrote in the note, obtained by CNN, that Friday was supposed to be her last day at the White House, but that"after much thought, discussion and reflection, I've decided to stay.""I'm not done here and there is so much more good work to do with all of you. I couldn't be happier and more excited about this awesome — if admittedly last-minute! — development," she wrote.
Bedingfield's decision to extend her time at the White House comes as the administration continues to contend with a number of policy challenges, including inflation, abortion rights and the ongoing war in Ukraine. And as the midterm elections near, the White House's messaging apparatus has at times struggled to break through.
