“Shailagh’s years of experience covering a broad array of issues ranging from domestic policy to foreign affairs make her uniquely positioned to lead our communications team,” Biden said in a statement.
Murray was named Capitol Hill reporter for the Post in 2005 after covering politics for for six years at the Wall Street Journal and filing from Prague and Brussels for the paper for the previous seven years.
Post national editor Kevin Merida called her a “master at explaining complex legislation and the unpredictable twists and turns of Congress.”
Carney, also a former reporter, was named White House press secretary last month.
Elizabeth Alexander is Biden’s press secretary.
