She explains the press to the president, preaches Twitter-is-not-real-life, and keeps the West Wing from leaking.
Biden and Bedingfield on the colonnade of the White House in 2021.Biden and Bedingfield on the colonnade of the White House in 2021.Kate Bedingfield, the White House communications director, first tried to leave in July. She had started working forin 2015 and was looking forward to spending more time with her husband and two young kids. A press release went out, a search for her replacement began, and Biden’s dreadful summer dragged on.
Formally, Bedingfield has been in charge of the White House’s messaging strategy and plans. It’s a big-picture role that puts her in the Oval Office with Biden multiple times per day but also one where she offers minute-to-minute guidance even as others — if not Biden, then usually the press secretary — deliver the message. She is relentlessly on-message and has been one of the biggest reasons Biden’s White House has seen leaks as anathema.
Perhaps the most persistent overarching concern among voters is his age. “There’s an inherent desire right out of the gate for people — for the press in particular — to go to age as a problem. And as he’s said many times, like: ‘Fair question!’” Bedingfield said. He was dogged by the same questions during the primaries in 2019, but she said his eventual win proved “people also really want somebody who brings wisdom and experience to the job.
Bedingfield’s profile grew after the launch of the 2020 campaign, for which she served as deputy campaign manager. Almost immediately, Biden was tagged as a relic, and she became a frequent defender in post-debate spin rooms and on cable, gaining a reputation within the beleaguered campaign HQ as one of the prime proponents of the “Twitter is not real life” stance that came to define Biden’s primary campaign.
