Former Fox News Executive Bill Shine is resigning from his position as White House Chief of Staff for Communications.
He’s not been in the position all that long, so when I first saw this breaking I was shocked.

But, as I suggested in my title, this is really just a transition and not a resignation:
Trump quote after Bill Shine's resignation as White House Communications Director: "We will miss him in the White House, but look forward to working together on the 2020 Presidential Campaign, where he will be totally involved."

SHINE: “Serving President Trump and this country has been the most rewarding experience of my entire life. To be a small part of all this President has done for the American people has truly been an honor. I’m looking forward to working on President Trump’s reelection campaign."

So there you go. He’s really just moving from the administration to Trump’s 2020 campaign.
