A recent report from the watchdog organization Open the Books revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris has experienced a staff turnover rate exceeding 90% since taking office in January 2021.
Of the original 47 staffers, only four remain, with nearly half of her team departing in the past year alone.
This high attrition rate has been attributed to ongoing dysfunction within her office, previously described as “top-to-bottom dysfunction” in a 2023 report.
Reports indicated that staff faced a chaotic work environment characterized by dissatisfaction and poor treatment.
“In her first year and a half as vice president, Harris saw the departure of her chief of staff, communications director, domestic-policy adviser, national security adviser, and other aides,” one report noted.
These findings coincide with Harris’s recent launch of her campaign for the presidency, during which she pledged to unite the Democratic Party.
