On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced that Karine Jean-Pierre will replace Jen Psaki as press secretary for the White House. She will be the first Black and openly gay woman to hold this position.
What they’re saying: “Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people,” said Biden, according to the White House.
Details: Jean-Pierre currently serves as the principal deputy press secretary and deputy assistant to Biden.
Flashback: One month ago, Psaki was rumored to have been in talks with MSNBC, among other networks. Symone D. Sanders is another person who got her start in the White House working as spokeswoman for Harris, before going on to join MSNBC as an anchor with a new weekend program.
