Karine Jean-Pierre to Take White House Podium as Psaki Exits
Karine Jean-Pierre will take the White House podium as Jen Psaki makes her exit.
“I am proud to announce that Karine Jean-Pierre will serve as the next White House Press Secretary,” Biden said in a statement.
“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,” Biden said. “Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this Administration.”
Jen Psaki’s last day is May 13.
Psaki fired off a tweet thanking Biden for trusting her to serve as his spokeswoman.
Lots to say about how grateful I am to @POTUS and @FLOTUS and the Biden family for trusting me to serve as @PressSec and plenty of time before my last day to share, but today is about @KJP46 so a few thoughts on this remarkable woman who will soon be behind the podium every day.

And of course Psaki had to praise Karine Jean-Pierre for being “the first black woman and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve as the White House Press Secretary.”
“Representation matters and she will give a voice to many,” Psaki said.
@KJP46 has decades of experience from her early years working in government and politics in NYC, to her years as an outspoken advocate, to serving as a long-time advisor to @POTUS back when he was the VP.
