President Joe Biden burst open a tightly held White House secret when he announced that Karine Jean-Pierre would be his new press secretary, a coveted position for which there was stiff competition.
Coming at a pivotal moment in Biden’s presidency, the reveal Thursday capped months of speculation by Washington insiders over who would next helm the podium when Jen Psaki steps down.
Jean-Pierre said she never doubted that she would one day fill the role. “No, not at all. I just worked hard towards it,” she told reporters. “I understand how hard it is. I do. We all do, but just keep working hard towards it.” A draft opinion striking down federal abortion rights tore through Washington this week and presented a dilemma for which the White House has few answers. Democrats are also staring down the barrel of the midterm elections, as Republicans hold a 3.2 percentage point advantage over Democrats, according to the RealClearPolitics generic ballot average.
