According to a report from Politico, James Braid, the top White House aide in charge of liaising with Congress, is leaving the administration with no indication of where he is heading next. As director of legislative affairs, Braid has been responsible for advancing President Donald Trump's agenda through a narrow Republican majority. The job has "become increasingly difficult as the president has repeatedly clashed with members of his own party in both the House and Senate," Politico is reporting. Before this survey, were you familiar with James Braid?

Braid's departure occurs during a "tumultuous" period for the White House. The president's approval ratings remain near record lows, the GOP faces significant midterm headwinds, and other senior staff have either departed or are planning exits. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced her departure last week. Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair is on temporary leave of absence to manage Trump's political operation. Do you think the convicted felon's personal assistant, Natalie Harp, will ever leave his side?
