Biden’s top economic advisor flees White House for Kamala camp as global market tanks

Top Biden White House economic advisor Gene Sperling is leaving the administration and going to the Kamala Harris campaign as the global market is tanking. Stock exchanges all around the world dropped over the weekend leading into the workweek, with the Dow Jones dropping over 1000 points on Monday.

According to the Associated Press, Sperling will become the economic adviser to Harris’ policy team on her campaign. Sperling worked with Harris for the first time as California attorney general when he was in the Obama administration and consulted with her when she was in the Senate.
