Susan Rice discusses possibilities for a divided nation upon leaving administration.

Susan Rice discusses possibilities for a divided nation upon leaving administration.

Susan Rice, President Biden's chief domestic policy adviser, is stepping down from her post. Rice discusses the challenges faced by the administration on divisive issues such as gun control and immigration. She argues that the best hope has often been to take the least bad option. The administration has made progress on specific policy changes, such as expanding postpartum Medicaid coverage and launching the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. However, more dramatic measures such as a renewed assault-weapons ban appear politically out of reach. Rice acknowledges that the least bad option may not always be enough, but it counts among the instances during her tenure in which it was good enough.

Neera Tanden appointed as Biden's domestic policy adviser.

President Joe Biden has appointed Neera Tanden, a senior aide, as his domestic policy adviser, replacing Susan Rice. Tanden, who has served in two prior presidential administrations, will cover most areas outside of national security and the economy. She was previously Biden's staff secretary and played a major role in controlling the schedules, briefing books, and other paperwork that reached the president's desk. Tanden's appointment comes after she was forced to withdraw her nomination to be budget chief amid fierce opposition from Republicans and Senator Joe Manchin.

Neera Tanden, a longtime Democratic adviser and President Biden's staff secretary, has been named as the director of the Domestic Policy Council, replacing Susan Rice as Mr. Biden's top domestic policy adviser. Tanden has been a fixture in Washington for more than two decades as an adviser to President Barack Obama and as the president of the Center for American Progress. She was initially nominated to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget but withdrew from consideration due to lack of support for confirmation in the Senate.

Neera Tanden appointed as Biden's domestic policy adviser.

Neera Tanden, a longtime prominent Democratic operative, has been named as the next head of President Joe Biden's domestic policy council, replacing Susan Rice. Tanden has extensive experience in Democratic policy circles, having previously run the Center for American Progress and served as a senior health official in the Obama administration. Her selection is likely to be met with trepidation from Republicans and some Democrats due to her once-combative Twitter account. Stef Feldman, a longtime Biden aide, will replace Tanden in the role of staff secretary.

Susan Rice to Depart as Biden's Domestic Policy Chief.

President Joe Biden announced that his top domestic policy adviser, Susan Rice, will be leaving her post next month. Rice, who previously served as President Obama's national security adviser and U.N. ambassador, oversaw a range of executive and legislative actions on health care, policing, gun safety, racial equity, and the $1 trillion infrastructure bill. She was also a key player in the administration's efforts to manage surging migrant numbers at the U.S.-Mexico border. The next person named to the job will focus on implementing policies, given the divided Congress and lower expectations for passing major legislation.

Susan Rice Resigns as Biden's Domestic Policy Adviser.

Susan Rice, President Biden's domestic policy adviser, will step down next month after overseeing some of the administration's most polarizing issues, including gun control, student loan relief, and immigration. During her tenure, she worked on Mr. Biden's student loan cancellation plan, a police reform executive order, and a policy to cap the price of insulin at $35. Ms. Rice will step down on May 26, as the Biden administration is expected to lift a Trump-era public health rule that has empowered it to expel thousands of migrants.

Susan Rice Resigns as Biden's Domestic Policy Adviser.

Susan Rice, the Domestic Policy Adviser of the Biden administration, is stepping down from her post. Rice helped the administration with expanding the Affordable Care Act, getting his Inflation Reduction Act into law, and passing gun control legislation. Her departure leaves a major hole within the top ranks of the White House right as it gears up for a likely re-election campaign and as it faces a stare down with congressional Republicans over raising the debt limit. Among those being eyed as a replacement for her include Neera Tanden, Biden’s staff secretary and a senior adviser.
