President Biden's Former WH Secretary Is Now Independent & Selling Book

[RAMROD 117,036]

 

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has a book out this fall that promises a close look at President Biden's decision not to run for reelection and calls for thinking beyond the two-party system.

Jean-Pierre herself has switched her affiliation to independent after working in two Democratic administrations, according to Legacy Lit, a Hachette Book Group imprint that will publish “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” on Oct. 21.
 

“Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States,” Jean-Pierre, the first Black woman and openly gay person to hold the position of White House press secretary, said in a statement released Wednesday.

“At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.”

Jean-Pierre, 50, succeeded Jen Psaki as press secretary in 2022 after previously serving as deputy press secretary and also working as a senior adviser during Biden's victorious 2020 campaign. During President Barack Obama's first term, she was a regional political director.

Jean-Pierre was criticized at times for being evasive about Biden's physical condition. Wednesday's announcement from Legacy Lit says that she will take readers “through the three weeks that led to Biden’s abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision.”

I dont like this 

Edit: on second thought, if this exposes the democrats establishment and incite significant changes, I'm all for it

Thinking beyond the two-party system ..... the GOP are already well down the road with that.

You have the current President of the United States posing as a serious and dangerous threat towards the lives of millions, and this is what the media, and former officials are so focused on?

Making a quick dollar off of — presumably — Biden’s aging while in office. I understand the need for transparency. There are many questions to be asked, and sadly we’re living with the consequences of Biden not stepping back sooner, or at all, and I understand the necessity for clarity, but wow, distractions from the true issue at this very moment.

She seems to have switched parties over her disagreement with the Democratic establishment forcing Biden out, but idk. Gatekeeping the truth behind a book-for-sale makes switching party affiliations seem frivolous.

All this would do is empower the nazis even more than they already are lmao

Money grab. The pivot to independent is just to have a wider appeal. Don’t look for honesty from a person who has it in them to be a press secretary.

Yeah but the dinosaurs in the democratic party is hoarding power and doing nothing but lining their pockets. They need to get out of the way for progress. I need more AOC, daddy Pete, Ms Jasmine, etc. to lead

I want younger and more progressive reps too but the only thing criticising Dems right now does is push people into MAGA's arms.

As long as Republican christofascists are a threat, we don't have time to waste saying "Democrats aren't good enough" unless it's in a safely blue seat where a career Dem is being challenged by a younger person who is also a Dem.

I would be with her, and I don't think being critical of dems is BAD, but it seems like that's actually not what she's doing. If her angle is that Biden was "betrayed" then I'm not with that. If anything, the Democratic party was betrayed by him being the candidate in the first place.

Never trust a political staffer who in opposition switches to independency and promises to "tell all".

Its political speak for "I'm going to make a lot of money out of idiots"

I don’t trust people that write these political books for clout. Get a real job…
