Karine Jean-Pierre To Be Next White House Press Secretary

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has named Karine Jean-Pierre to be the next White House press secretary, with incumbent Jen Psaki set to leave the role next week.

Biden is also bringing back longtime Democratic strategist Anita Dunn as his senior adviser.

She had served in the Biden White House last year for several months after Biden was sworn-in to office.

Biden says Jean-Pierre “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.”

Jean-Pierre has served as Biden’s principal deputy press secretary since Inauguration Day.
