Ex-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Slams Democrats In New Book + Quits Party Over ‘Betrayal’ Stemming From Joe Biden’s Election Exit

Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary under President Biden, is leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent.

In her forthcoming memoir, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” she blasts the Democratic Party for what she calls a “betrayal” after Biden ended his re-election campaign.

The book, due out in October, argues it “can be worthwhile to carve a political space more loyal to personal beliefs than a party affiliation.”

Some Democrats reacted sharply. “If you lost the will to fight, then get out of the party,” said longtime aide Jonathan Kott. Strategist Caitlin Legacki urged Jean-Pierre to thank Biden “for doing the responsible thing.”

Former Biden spokesman Andrew Bates declined to comment.

What do you think the “betrayal” could have been?
