Despite recent announcements of departures, President Joe Biden’s Cabinet has had one of the lowest turnover rates in recent presidencies, with only one cabinet member leaving in the first two years of his administration.
Biden’s former Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Director Eric Lander resigned in February of 2022 amid reports of bullying. Lander was the only one to depart the Cabinet in the first half of Biden’s presidency, and if he hadn’t designated the OSTP as a part of his Cabinet, Biden would’ve been the first president to have zero turnover in his first two years since the late 1970s, FiveThirtyEight reported.
