Susan Rice, the domestic policy advisor to President Joe Biden, is set to step down from her role next month (CNN). Rice served as the White House’s domestic policy chief, overseeing major issues such as immigration, gun control, and student loan relief (The New York Times). She also played a role in expanding the Affordable Care Act during the Biden administration (Politico).
Rice previously served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Barack Obama (Politico). Despite being a respected foreign policy voice, her tenure as a top advisor to the Biden administration was marked by criticism from Republicans (National Review).
During her time at the White House, Rice led the domestic policy council, a powerful office that oversees various policy issues (CBS News). She worked on policies aimed at improving Americans’ lives and countering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by dealing with financial struggles, healthcare and economic stress (Fox News).
President Biden praised Rice as he announced her departure, calling her a “forceful advocate for the administration’s domestic policy priorities” (The Washington Post). While it is unclear what Rice’s next steps will be, her departure marks a significant change for the Biden administration (Wall Street Journal).
As of now, there is no information about who will succeed Rice in her position under the Biden administration.
