Washington — Karine Jean-Pierre, who was the White House press secretary
under former President Joe Biden, is no longer a Democrat, according to
her publisher's summary of her upcoming book, "Independent."

A blurb by the publisher, the Hachette Book Group, says Jean-Pierre
"didn't come to her decision to be an Independent lightly," and goes on to
say that she "defines 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."

The summary indicates that Jean-Pierre, a longtime Democrat who also
worked for former President Barack Obama's administration and his
presidential campaign, grew disillusioned with the party over its efforts
to pressure Biden to drop his reelection bid last year. Biden ended up
leaving the race for the White House weeks before the Democratic National Convention, and Vice President Kamala Harris went on to become the party's presidential nominee. She lost to President Trump in November.

In addition to serving two Democratic presidents, Jean-Pierre was chief of staff to Harris during the 2020 campaign.

"She takes us through the three weeks that led to Biden's abandoning his
bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to
his decision," the Hachette summary says. In her book, Jean-Pierre "shares
why Americans must step beyond party lines to embrace life as
Independents."

The book will be available in October, according to the publisher.

"Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the
president of the United States. At noon on that day, I became a private
citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world,
had to contend with what was to come next for our country," Jean-Pierre
said in a statement from Legacy Lit, which is part of Hachette. "I
determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves
of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think
creatively and plan strategically. We need to be clear-eyed and
questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in
the past. And freeing ourselves of boxes is truly at the heart and soul of
my new book, Independent."

Jean-Pierre was Biden's second White House press secretary, taking over
the position from Jen Psaki in 2022. She served as principal deputy press secretary before being elevated to the role of press secretary following Psaki's departure from the White House.

Jean-Pierre was the first Black woman and first openly gay person to serve
as White House press secretary.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
