A senior economic adviser is leaving the White House to join the Harris campaign as the stock market takes a historic tumble. White House senior adviser Gene Sperling is leaving his administration position to work with Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential election campaign, The Associated Press reported Monday. Sperling will be a senior economic adviser to Harris’ policy team, the outlet reported.
