Ex-Biden press secretary announces switch to independent

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who worked for two Democratic presidents and had one of the most public-facing roles in the Biden administration, is urging Americans to “embrace life as independents.”

Jean-Pierre shares her message with readers in a forthcoming book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” poised to be released in October by Hachette Book Group’s Legacy Lit imprint. 

The book is described in promotional materials as a “groundbreaking, revelatory assessment of America’s broken two-party system.”

“Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an independent lightly,” a description of the book from the publisher said.

“She takes us 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.”

Former President Biden exited the 2024 White House race last July, amid questions about his mental and physical acuity.

“In an urgent, timely analysis,’Independent’ urges all Americans to vote their values and maintain individuality within party lines,” the publisher said, calling the book a “hard-hitting yet hopeful critique.”

Fifty-year-old Jean-Pierre, who also worked in former President Obama’s administration and under Biden became the first Black and the first openly LGBTQ person to serve as White House press secretary, “presents clear arguments and provocative evidence as an insider about the importance of dismantling the torrent of disinformation and misinformation that has been rampant in recent elections and provides passionate insight for moving forward,” they added.

In February, Jean-Pierre criticized Democrats for pressuring Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

“I’d never seen a party do that in the way that they did, and it was hurtful and sad to see that happening, a firing squad around a person who I believe was a true patriot,” she said at the time.
