President Biden’s senior adviser Anita Dunn, known for her ties to former President Barack Obama, is leaving the White House to join a top Democratic super PAC. Dunn will support efforts to elect Vice President Harris in November.
Dunn played a key role in Biden's 2020 campaign and served in the White House during his first term. Following Biden's debate performance against former President Trump in June, Dunn was reportedly sidelined from his inner circle.
Biden praised Dunn's service, highlighting her contributions to his campaign and the White House. He commended her experience and intellect, emphasizing her role in achieving historic results for the American people.
Dunn expressed gratitude for her time in the White House, calling it an honor to serve during a transformational term. She will now join Future Forward, a super PAC, to support Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Before her White House tenure, Dunn was a senior adviser on Biden’s presidential campaign. She was credited with steering the campaign effectively after early challenges.
Dunn's past experience includes serving as chief strategist for Obama's 2008 campaign and as his White House communications director. Sources revealed that Dunn was informed of Biden's decision to suspend his re-election campaign just a minute before the public announcement.
There were reports of a rift between Hunter Biden, Dunn, and Dunn’s husband, Bob Bauer, regarding keeping Hunter Biden's legal issues separate from the White House.
