President Joe Biden's 'bodyman,' Stephen Goepfert, is set to leave the White House at the end of the week.
CNN reported Tuesday that Goepfert will depart the West Wing for a position in the Transportation Department.
Goepfert, who was the first out gay man to hold the role of personal aide to a president, has worked for Biden as a 'bodyman' since his 2020 presidential campaign, and before that, in the Obama White House.
As the president's 'bodyman,' Goepfert is often the first and last staffer Biden sees every day.
And while not wholly a public figure, he's often caught on camera placing remarks on the podium before Biden delivers a speech, or passing the president a note.
