Reses to Exit as Vance’s Chief of Staff Ahead of Summer End

Jacob Reses, chief of staff to Vice President JD Vance, will leave the administration at the end of summer after serving since January 2025; his departure comes as his wife is pregnant, and his next role hasn’t been announced. Vance praised Reses as a loyal, capable adviser, noting their long collaboration since his 2022 Senate campaign, and Reses has earned praise from White House officials and Cabinet members. The move continues a pattern of staff changes in Vance’s office, with several deputies also leaving, and there’s no indication of where Reses will land next—though a later return to the VP’s team isn’t ruled out.
