Breaking News – Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Press Secretary, has been promoted to the role of senior adviser to President Joe Biden. The promotion was announced with just over three months remaining in his presidential term. Now part of Biden’s closest circle of advisors including Mike Donilon, Steve Richetti, and Bruce Reed, Jean-Pierre will continue her duties as press secretary while advising the President.

Certainly a testament to her influence within the administration, Jeff Zients, the White House Chief of Staff said: “Karine has been a trusted advisor to the President since day one. Her counsel will be key in accomplishing as much as possible for the American people in upcoming months”. This promotion reveals that she is a central figure when it comes to providing Real News from within the government.

Beginning her tenure as press secretary in May 2022, 50 year old Jean-Pierre achieved substantial recognition for being both the first black woman and first openly gay figure ever named for this position. Her political career encompasses more than serving in these distinguished roles; she also worked actively on former President Barack Obama’s campaign and administration and was part of Biden-Harris’ successful 2020 mission.

Nonetheless, Mrs. Jean-Pierre’s appointment has not been without criticism – particularly from conservative sectors following rigorous questioning conducted by Fox News’ Peter Doocy in public briefings. Just last month he challenged her on calling former president Donald Trump a “threat” soon after he was targeted in an assassination attempt.

Post-Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race which occurred in July, Jean-Pierre had to correct false claims about Biden’s meetings with his Parkinson’s doctor earlier that year. She also faced flak for asserting that Biden’s decision to withdraw was unconnected with health concerns but rather a selfless act aimed at doing what he thought was best for America.

Being promoted now means that she is left dealing with the speculation and inquiries surrounding Biden’s exit from the upcoming race. In an interview on “The View”, Jean-Pierre dismissed calls for Biden’s resignation as “ridiculous”, stating emphatically that his decision was strictly not to run for re-election, and expressing his intention of continuing to serve in his role as President.
