Senior Biden Advisor Cedric Richmond to Leave White House as Biden's Poll Numbers Crater

Cedric Richmond, a senior advisor to Joe Biden is leaving the White House to go work for the DNC.

Biden’s approval rating is down to the lowest of his presidency.

According to a new I&I/Tipp poll, only 19% of voters want Joe Biden to run again and only 7% want Kamala Harris to run again.

Fox News reported:

Senior Biden adviser Cedric Richmond will depart the White House to work for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) next month, Fox News has confirmed.

Richmond served as the director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, and also as a senior adviser to President Biden. He will take an advisory role at the DNC starting in May, a Biden adviser told Fox News.

“I am thrilled that the President has entrusted me with helping boost the robust work already being done at the DNC to make sure that Democrats grow their majorities in the House and Senate, and increase the number of Democratic governors in state capitals around the country,” Richmond said in a Tuesday statement.

Richmond’s departure comes one day after reports that he criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and her fellow “squad” members as “f—ing idiots” after the 2020 election.

Recall, Joe Biden referred to Cedric Richmond, as “boy” during a press conference last August.

Imagine if Trump did this.

Cedric Richmond is a 47-year-old man.

“I’m here with — with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well — man — and — and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond.” Biden said.

Not only does Biden not sound great here, but also called Cedric Richmond “boy,” something the left would lose it if he were a Republican: “I’m here with — with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well — man — and — and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond.” pic.twitter.com/T11qNAGJhu
