Candidates being considered to be next White House communications director

The White House is considering a major overhaul of its press and communications operation in coming weeks, a staff shakeup that, states NBC News, is aimed at “putting a new team in place to drive President Joe Biden’s message into November’s midterm elections and in the months after voters decide whether his party retains control of Congress, according to multiple people familiar with the effort.

“The effort to revamp the White House press operation comes as Biden has expressed frustration that his message isn’t breaking through to Americans and his approval ratings continue to hit new lows, while his aides prepare for him to seek re-election.

According to NBC News, one of Biden’s top advisers, Anita Dunn, “has begun interviewing candidates to be the next White House communications director, the first step in the overhaul, these people said.”
