Biden HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge Announces Surprise Resignation

With just under eight months to go before the presidential election, one member of President Joe Biden’s cabinet has resigned unexpectedly.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge announced Monday that she is resigning, effective later this month, and going home to Ohio.

“It’s time to go home,’’ Fudge said, according to USA Today.

“I do believe strongly that I have done just about everything I could do at HUD for this administration as we go into this crazy, silly season of an election,” she said.

“There just comes a time, and you know when that time is,” she said.

The former Democratic member of Congress said this is the end of the line for public service.

“Don’t look for me to ever be on another ballot or another appointee or anything like that,’’ she said. “I really do look forward to being a private citizen.”

Should Biden resign?

A report in Politico called her resignation “a surprising departure.”

Politico noted that only days ago, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said the entire Cabinet was made up of  “people who are committed to this president.”

“So, yes, we have the team in place,” he said.

White House representative Olivia Dalton said Biden will nominate a successor. That may take some time, given that Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su has been an interim for months because she cannot get the votes to be confirmed as secretary of labor.

Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman will serve as acting secretary, according to the White House.

Labor Secretary Marty Walsh left Biden’s Cabinet last year. Eric Lander, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, resigned in 2022.

In 2021, Fudge was found guilty of violating the Hatch Act, according to CNN. During a March news briefing, she was asked if Democrats could win the 2022 Senate race in Ohio.

“I think we have a good shot at it. I know people have written off Ohio. I haven’t written off Ohio. I believe we can win the Senate race,” she said, according to a White House transcript.

The Office of Special Counsel ruled that a violation of the Hatch Act, which bans partisan activities of federal employees during the conduct of their official duties.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
