| Marie Harf |
Moulton's campaign told The Daily Beast that Harf, who has served as a political commentator for Fox News Channel and as a co-host of Fox News Radio’s "Benson and Harf," will work with Moulton as his deputy campaign manager for policy and communications.
Fox News confirmed to The Hill that Harf is leaving the network but pointed to Moulton’s campaign for confirmation that she is joining his campaign staff. The Moulton campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
Harf, a former State Department spokeswoman during the Obama administration, has served as a Democratic voice on Fox News, though she has criticized the party in the past.
Harf previously served as a senior communications adviser to former Secretary of State John Kerry and as a Middle East analyst at the CIA, bringing international relations experience to a campaign already highlighting Moulton’s foreign policy chops as a veteran. She also worked on former President Obama’s 2012 reelection bid.
Moulton, an outspoken moderate who grabbed headlines for working to deny Nancy Pelosi the speakership for the current congressional session, launched his presidential bid last month. He has thus far struggled to gain traction in national and statewide polling.
Guy Benson, Harf’s co-host, who is also a Fox News contributor, will take over the radio show as the solo host starting Thursday.
