The communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris has resigned amid a sharp decline in Harris's approval ratings.

Ashley Etienne tendered her resignation on Thursday, Fox News reported. Etienne's last day will be next month as the office opens for a new official to take the role.

"Ashley is a valued member of the vice president's team, who has worked tirelessly to advance the goals of this administration," a White House official said to the Washington Examiner's White House Correspondent Katherine Doyle. "She is leaving the office in December to pursue other opportunities."

Prior to serving as communications director for Harris, Etienne served as the deputy communications director for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to the Washington Post. Etienne left her role with Pelosi in 2014 to serve as the communications director for the Obama Administration's cabinet, and special assistant to former President Barack Obama.

The announcement of Etienne's resignation comes after recent polls have shown a sharp decline in approval ratings for both Harris and President Joe Biden.

Biden's approval stands at 42.3%, according to a poll from RealClearPolitics, while Harris's approval rating stands at 40.2%.

However, a USA Today/Suffolk University poll published on Nov. 7 showed that Biden had an approval rating of 38%, with a 28% approval rating for Harris.

While Biden and Harris have been seen hugging and smiling with each other, especially during the signing of the infrastructure bill on Nov. 15, there have been rumors regarding tensions between the two. CNN reported on Nov. 18 that the relationship between the two has become increasing tense as "key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands" at Harris and her team.

Harris revealed during an interview with ABC News's George Stephanopoulos, which aired Thursday morning on Good Morning America, that she had "absolutely not" discussed running for reelection in 2024 with Biden.
