The Vice President descends from Air Force Two at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport in Newport News, Virginia, on September 10, 2021.
The departure of two other advisors has led to the departure of another key aide.
The Congressional Black Caucus has hired the Harris deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs, according to a statement provided to CNBC.
The Black lawmakers of the CBC advocate for issues important to minority communities. The chair of the group is Rep. Joyce Beatty.
Evans was named the executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus. I know first hand the impact the Caucus has in Congress and across the country because I started my career in Washington working for a member.
Evans was a political director for Harris during the transition and held the same post after Harris was nominated for vice president.
A person familiar with Evans departure says he is leaving Harris' office on good terms and that he plans to maintain a close relationship with the vice president. The move has nothing to do with the departures. This person says that Harris supports Evans decision. The person refused to be named in order to speak freely about the decision.
It was an honor of a lifetime to work in the vice president's office, said the chief spokesman for Harris. The communications director for Harris left the office last month.
Beatty praised Evans. As a leader for effective change,Vincent will help the CBC reach greater heights. Beatty said thatVincent knows the importance of developing critical relationships when it comes to public engagement.
The vice president's office has been described as tension and dysfunction. Tina Flournoy, Harris' chief of staff, is being attacked by her allies for her handling of the vice president and her team. CNN previously reported on the White House officials who were upset with Harris.
The White House and Harris have downplayed the negative reports before.
In November, the White House called Harris a vital partner to the president and a leader who has taken on important challenges, such as voting rights and addressing root causes of migration.
