An extremely political choice was made on Thursday Joe Biden, at a time when social liquidity in the United States is so intensifying by questioning the right of women to decide on their body as well as with the “compression” of the electorate and social rights of minorities in the shadow of the BLM (Black Lives Matter) movement.
In one differentiation option from the “Trampled” Republicans, who seem to be increasingly conservative, Biden Carin Jean-Pierre as the second White House spokeswoman to replace Greek-born Jen Psaki later this month.
Jean-Pierre is making history by being the first black spokesperson in White House history and the first openly gay man in that position, representing the US president and government in press conferences that are watched all over the globe. Growing up in New York, the 44-year-old was born in Martinique, immigrated to the United States with her family when she was five, and attended Columbia University.
“Karin not only brings the experience, talent and integrity required for this difficult job, but she will continue to play a leading role in communicating the work of the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people,” he said. Biden in a statement.
“This is a historic moment, “It’s not just about me,” Jean-Pierre told a news conference on Thursday, when she appeared embracing Psaki. “I understand how important it is for so many people out there, so many different communities, to stand on their shoulders, and so I have been throughout my career,” he added.
For her part, Psaki referred to her successor, describing her as “My partner in truth”.
Jean-Pierre joined Biden’s team from the progressive organization MoveOn.org, where she was a top communications executive. «I’m what Donald Trump hates: woman, black, gay and mom “, the then representative of MoveOn had characteristically stated in 2016.
He also worked with the MSNBC network, was responsible for several press releases in the White House, especially when Psaki had contracted the coronavirus.
“It’s a real honor to be here today,” Jean-Pierre said in May 2021 during her first appearance on the White House’s podium. But I believe that being behind this pedestal, being in this room, being in this building, is not about one person. “It has to do with what we do on behalf of the American people.”
As for Jen Psaki, she is expected to be hired by MSNBC after leaving the White House. Her last day as a government official is scheduled for May 13.
