Susan Rice, President Biden’s top domestic policy adviser, is departing the administration, the White House said Monday.

Ms. Rice, a longtime foreign-policy expert, has led the White House Domestic Policy Council since the start of the administration, helping coordinate with federal agencies on a broad variety of issues, including economic mobility, healthcare, gun control and immigration. Her last day will be May 26, an administration official said.

President Joe Biden’s domestic policy adviser, Susan Rice, is stepping down from her post next month, multiple current and former senior administration officials told NBC News.

The move brings to a close Rice’s prolific, wide-ranging and at times controversial tenure overseeing Biden’s domestic agenda — including some of the thorniest political issues, such as immigration policy. During her more than two years in the role, Biden has signed executive and legislative actions on health care, gun safety, student loans, policing and other key priorities for Democrats.

In a statement acknowledging Rice's exit, Biden remembered how he "surprised" pundits by tapping Rice for the position overseeing domestic affairs since she is "synonymous" with foreign policy, having previously been former President Barack Obama's national security adviser and ambassador to the United Nations.
