White House communications director Kate Bedingfield will leave her role at the end of the month, the administration announced Friday.

Bedingfield, a longtime Biden aide dating back to his time as vice president, will be replaced by Ben LaBolt, who served as an Obama White House press official and most recently joined the Biden administration on a temporary basis to assist with communications around the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Bedingfield is a longtime Biden aide, having worked with him since he was vice president. She had originally announced plans to step down as communications director last summer, but reversed her decision and opted to stay on through the rest of the year.
