Jacob Reses, chief of staff to Vice President JD Vance, is expected to leave the administration at the end of the summer, according to people familiar with the matter, marking a significant personnel change within the vice president’s office.
Reses reportedly informed Vance of his plans several months ago after he and his wife learned they were expecting their first child.
Throughout his tenure, Reses played a key role in shaping policy and political strategy within Vance’s office.
Senior administration officials have publicly praised his contributions, with colleagues highlighting his influence on both domestic priorities and foreign policy initiatives.
The move comes amid a broader pattern of personnel changes across the administration.
Despite his planned departure, individuals familiar with the situation suggest Reses is leaving on good terms and could potentially return to a government role in the future.
For now, attention will turn to who may be selected to fill one of the most influential positions in the vice president’s office.
