Former Biden Aide: Demolition of East Wing ‘Probably Needed’
25th October 2025
Michael LaRosa, who served as former first lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, said Friday the demolition of the White House’s East Wing was “probably needed.”
“It’s sad. I had a really wonderful office that I squatted in an hour or two after the inauguration ended, and remained there for nearly two years,” LaRosa said during an appearance on “The Sunrise on The Hill.”
“It’s heartbreaking, and I’m sentimental about it and sad,” LaRosa said. “At the same time, I think every first family, every president, should play a role in evolving the White House and updating it and modernizing it and sometimes expanding it.”
