“The White House says her deputy will serve as acting secretary in the meantime”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms her resignation, the provided search results for 'White' and 'White House' are generic definitions of the color white and do not contain a statement about a deputy serving as acting secretary. The Wikipedia entry for Julie Su mentions her acting as secretary in a different context/timeframe, but there is no direct evidence in the provided text confirming the White House's specific announcement regarding the current deputy's role following this resignation.
