Vice President JD Vance is losing his top aide just as the White House is grappling with mounting political and legal challenges.

Vance’s chief of staff, Jacob Reses, is set to leave the Trump administration at the end of the summer, just over one year from the beginning of a presidential election campaign in which the vice president is expected to be the frontrunner.
