White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to senior adviser to President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
According to ABC News<\/a>, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been elevated to senior adviser to the president.<\/p>\n Jeff Zients, the president\u2019s chief of staff, stated, \u201cKarine has been a trusted advisor to the President and all of us here at the White House since day one. Her counsel will be critical to getting as much done as possible for the American people in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this administration,\u201d Biden said of Jean-Pierre in a 2022 statement when he announced her as press secretary.<\/p>\n ABC News reported: \u201cJean-Pierre will now be alongside the ranks of the president\u2019s top confidantes, like senior advisers Mike Donilon, Steve Richett,, and Bruce Reed. A White House official said that her promotion shows the faith that Biden has in her, as well as his commitment to having diverse and inter-generational voices guiding him in his decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJean-Pierre will begin her new role effective immediately. She will also maintain her press secretary duties through the end of Biden\u2019s administration, the first press secretary in decades to also hold the title of senior adviser. The move also shows the increased influence of the communications and press operations in the Biden White House. When former senior adviser Anita Dunn left her role, Communications Director Ben LaBolt was promoted to senior adviser,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n She will stay in her role as press secretary until the end of Biden\u2019s tenure, ABC reports, making her the first person to hold both positions simultaneously in many years.<\/p>\n Ben LaBolt, who took Anita Dunn\u2019s place as senior adviser after working as communications director, was previously promoted.<\/p>\n The New York Post reported<\/a> in April 2024 that senior advisers in President Biden\u2019s administration attempted to replace Jean-Pierre as White House Press Secretary.<\/p>\n According to reports, Anita Dunn, a senior adviser, and Chief of Staff Jeff Zients were behind the attempt to persuade well-known Democrats to convince Jean-Pierre to resign.<\/p>\n Her reliance on prepared responses, which some felt was unproductive in advancing Biden\u2019s reelection campaign, was given as the explanation.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were a number of people she asked to engage Karine,\u201d said one source who heard of the strategy directly from Dunn, whose role as senior adviser has been filled during the past three presidencies by Jared Kushner (Donald Trump), Valerie Jarrett (Barack Obama) and Karl Rove (George W. Bush).<\/p>\n \u201cThere was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career,\u201d the source said, calling it an \u201ceffort to encourage her to move along.\u201d<\/p>\n Jean-Pierre, the person added, \u201chad been in the job for a year and a half at that point, which is a pretty standard tenure for a press secretary in what is admittedly a very demanding job [and] Jeff and Anita [tried] to have folks that she would listen to and trust talk to her about why it might be wise to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Jean-Pierre vowed to stay in her role and refused to go despite the pressure. The government has refuted the allegations in public, asserting that Jean-Pierre is competent and well-prepared.<\/p>\n However, there have been rumors of conflict within the press team, especially between Jean-Pierre and John Kirby, the spokesman for the National Security Council, with whom she frequently co-hosts briefings.<\/p>\n The post KJP Gets New Job In The Biden Administration<\/a> appeared first on Conservative Brief<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to senior adviser to President Joe Biden.
