Vance Chief of Staff Jacob Reses to Exit Trump Administration by Summer's End

Jacob Reses, Vice President JD Vance’s chief of staff since January 2025, plans to leave the administration at the end of the summer, people close to Vance’s office said.
Several months ago, Reses told Vance he intended to step down after his wife became pregnant with their first child; his next job is not yet known.
Vance called Reses a loyal adviser who has been with him since his 2022 Ohio Senate run, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said he had been central to the administration’s leadership team.
The departure adds to recent turnover in Vance’s office, which has already seen two deputy chiefs of staff cycle through and top lawyer Sean Cooksey leave in February.
