Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Leaves Democratic Party

The book describes the press secretaryโ€™s time in a โ€˜broken White Houseโ€™ administration.

Former President Joe Bidenโ€™s longtime White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, said on June 4 that she has left the Democratic Party and will release a tell-all book on her time in the administration later this year.

Jean-Pierre, 50, served as Bidenโ€™s White House press secretary from May 2022 until the former president ended his term in January. Previously, Jean-Pierre worked on the 2008 Obama campaign and in the White House during former President Barack Obamaโ€™s first term in office.

In a Wednesday Instagram video, the former press secretary said she will release her book โ€œIndependent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Linesโ€ on Oct. 21.

โ€œIn an era of misinformation, disinformation, the regressiveness of social policy, what weโ€™re seeing currently, right nowโ€”what I have decided to do, and I really have thought long and hard about this, is to follow my own compass, and thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve done, and thatโ€™s what this book does,โ€ she said.

โ€œI think we need to stop thinking in boxes and think outside of our boxes, and not be so partisan. … This book โ€˜Independent,โ€™ itโ€™s about looking outside of boxes, not just always being in a partisan stance.โ€

In a promotional release, Hachette Book Group said, โ€œJean-Pierre didnโ€™t come to her decision to be an Independent lightly.โ€

โ€œShe has served two American presidents, Obama and Biden,โ€ the release reads. โ€œShe takes us through the three weeks that led to Bidenโ€™s abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision.โ€

The publisher goes on to state that Jean-Pierre โ€œdefines what it means to be part of the growing percentage of our fractured electorate that is Independent, why it can be worthwhile to carve a political space more loyal to personal beliefs than a party affiliation, and what questions you need to ask yourself to determine where you fit politically.โ€

Jean-Pierre faced criticism for defending Biden toward the end of his administration when the former presidentโ€™s mental acuity was under the spotlight, particularly following the June 2024 presidential debate that preceded his stepping down from the election.
