Karine Jean-Pierre’s annoucment has been met with COOLNESS from inside the Biden Admin people….
It appears she was NEVER seen as part of the Biden ‘Team’….
Another thing to carp about the Biden Admin?….
Karine Jean-Pierre’s announcement that she’s leaving the Democratic Party — timed with the rollout of a new book — has detonated long-simmering grievances among her former White House colleagues about Jean-Pierre’s pursuit of celebrity and personal media exposure while serving as then-President Joe Biden’s press secretary.
The attention-grabbing ploy lit up Democratic and Biden alumni texting groups and reignited frustrations that burned for years about Jean-Pierre, according to seven former Biden administration officials granted anonymity to describe private conversations.
One former official recalled that Jean-Pierre had joked about becoming an independent even while on the job in the Biden White House, an off-key comment for someone ostensibly serving as a major messenger for the Democratic Party. Another former official said that Jean-Pierre had begun working during the Biden administration with a New York-based publicist and had copied that person on official emails before some of Jean-Pierre’s White House colleagues intervened….

As Biden’s press secretary, Jean-Pierre’s halting, ineffectual briefings exasperated reporters and routinely offered material for the Republican Party’s main account on X. She frustrated colleagues throughout the West Wing for focusing on raising her own profile while leaving the hands-on management of media relations and the White House press shop to other aides.
While it’s unclear how she will portray Biden or her time in the White House in the book, titled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” several former colleagues expressed confusion at how Jean-Pierre seemingly intends to paint Biden as a victim while pinning her own decision to leave the party on his “broken” White House.
The teasing of the book project by the Hachette imprint stated that Jean-Pierre will offer her view of the three weeks of turmoil following Biden’s miserable debate last summer….

Her thesis seems to be “Democrats did Biden wrong and now I must leave them.”
There are NeverTrump ex-Republicans like me and now she is the first OnlyBiden ex-Democrat.
The fact that she will apparently insist that Joe Biden was perfectly fine, as she always insisted from the WH podium, and definitely should have continued to run for reelection is not going to generate a huge book buying audience, but I think james could be the target audience.
He, he, he….
I’m reading the Romney Book….
Mitt in hindsight…. REALLY has Donald Right in his interactions with him back in the day….
