FORMER White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is abandoning the Democratic Party, calling it ‘broken’ in her upcoming book.
Jean-Pierre, 50, is sharing her narrative about her tenure in the White House, which spanned two years and eight months during the Biden administration, in her revealing memoir.
“Jean-Pierre carefully weighed her decision to become an Independent,” Hachette Book Group announced in a press release accompanying her book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.
The press secretary was the first black and openly gay woman to hold the position.
“Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States,” Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
“At noon that day, I transitioned to a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies worldwide, had to face the uncertainty of what lay ahead for our nation.
“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.”
Jean-Pierre succeeded Jen Psaki in 2022 as press secretary and previously worked for the Obama administration as a regional political director.
In her new book, Jean-Pierre will walk readers through her experience working under both administrations.
The press release promises a detailed look into the atmosphere of the White House in the weeks leading up to the end of the Biden re-election campaign.
“She presents clear arguments and provocative evidence as an insider about the importance of dismantling the torrent of disinformation and misinformation that has been rampant in recent elections and provides passionate insight for moving forward,” the book announcement said.
The book will follow Jean-Pierre’s journey from being a highly involved member of the Democratic Party to an Independent.
“Jean-Pierre defines what it means to be part of the growing percentage of our fractured electorate that is Independent…and what questions you need to ask yourself to determine where you fit politically.”
The upcoming book is already being contested by democrats.
“What her publisher means to tell readers is that she is INCOMPETENT, not independent,” an insider told The Post.
“Just incompetent. But we don’t need to read about it— we watched it.”
“Put this ‘bombshell’ at the top of the Trump book-burn pile. Right next to Jake Tapper’s own toothless tome.”
Another democrat told the outlet that they “can’t look away.”
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.

Jean-Pierre defended her bold stance on the Democratic Party in a post on Instagram.
“I think we need to stop thinking in boxes and think outside of our boxes, and not be so partisan,” she said in a video promoting her book.
“This book ‘Independent’, it’s about looking outside of boxes, not just always being in a partisan stance.”
Her tell-all comes out on October 21.
