President Joe Biden's top economic adviser, Brian Deese, is expected to leave the White House next year, Report informs, citing Reuters.
Deese is expected to quit as director of the National Economic Council (NEC), most likely in the spring or summer, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
It did not give a reason but said White House officials were bracing for departures now that the midterm elections are over.
Administration aides were discussing whether Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo should move to the West Wing to lead the NEC, Bloomberg said, adding that the White House coordinator for Biden's pandemic relief measure and a senior adviser to the president, Gene Sperling, is also expected to raise his hand for Deese's job.
"There is no timeline for Brian's departure, and the President and Brian's colleagues want to keep it that way," a White House official told Reuters, adding that reports suggesting Brian has a timeline for leaving are wrong.
