“Their experience has been and will continue to be a valuable resource for our whole team as we map out long-term planning and fulfill the administration’s ambitious policy agenda,” the White House official told CNN.
The pair, who each worked for Harris during the presidential transition, will focus their efforts on “organizational development, strategic communications and long-term planning.”
Voles, a veteran communications strategist and Clinton and Gore alum, will serve in a temporary capacity, on a three- to six-month contract, a source familiar with Harris’ office told CNN. Frankel is also temporary, according to the White House official.
At the time, several allies and former aides to the vice president described having “flashbacks,” seeing the misstep as part of a broader pattern of messaging challenges that have dogged her since her unsuccessful presidential campaign.
The interview with Holt came after Harris had participated in a wide-ranging media training session to improve her delivery and presentation in interviews and speeches. That training had been one of several sessions over the last year, according to multiple sources. An aide said at the time that the session was not in response to, or in preparation for, any particular interview or topic.
