Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP46) said she hopes to make people proud in her new role as the president’s top spokeswoman.
Months of speculation came to a close Thursday as President Joe Biden named Jean-Pierre as his pick to replace Jen Psaki as his press secretary when she leaves the administration May 13.
“This is a historic moment, and it's not lost on me,” Jean-Pierre told reporters during a press briefing at the White House after the president broke the news. “It is an honor and a privilege to be behind this podium … and I hope that I make people proud.”Jean-Pierre will be the first black woman and the first openly LGBT person to hold the position. She was an adviser to Biden when he was vice president and served as chief of staff to Kamala Harris during the 2020 general election campaign.
