“Representation is important”
Biden greeted Jean-Pierre with praise. “Karine brings the experience, talent and integrity necessary for this difficult task,” the US president said in a statement about his former deputy press secretary. “She will continue to lead the way in communicating the work of the Biden-Harris administration.” Jean-Pierre has a daughter and is married to CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveux.
PSAKI, who will leave the White House on May 13, hailed her successor, who like her “values the truth”, and stressed the significance of the historic appointment. “Representation is important and with this nomination it will give a lot of voice and show what is truly possible if you work hard and dream big.” PSAki himself will work for the American news channel MSNBC.
