Vance chief of staff Jacob Reses to depart role

Jacob Reses, Vice President Vance’s chief of staff who has been with him since his Senate campaign, will be leaving the role at the end of the summer. Reses has served in the role since Vance took office with President Trump in January 2025.

“Jacob’s been by my side for my whole career in public life,” the vice president said in a statement. “I can’t imagine having been on this life-changing journey without him.”. “From day one of my time as a Senator-elect, I could not have asked for a more loyal and discerning advisor and friend as my chief of staff,” he continued. “I’ll miss him dearly, but he won’t be far, and I plan to keep his counsel close until our paths cross again.”

NBC News was the first to report on his departure and that Reses alerted Vance of his plans several months ago after his wife announced she was pregnant.

He previously served as a senior policy adviser for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and worked for Heritage Action, an affiliate of the Heritage Foundation.

There is a special election to finish out Vance's term (Sherrod is running in that against apointee Husted), then the full term is up in 2028.
