Karine Jean-Pierre had aspirations of becoming a TV star when she left the White House, but her dreams were crushed when the network where she hoped to star turned her down. 

Her hopes of stardom were revealed by this week along with the news that she is leaving the Democrats and will publish a book titled ‘Independent’. 

The book is intended to be a ‘look inside a broken White House, outside the party lines’. 

Democrats have blasted her for turning on her party in a shameless ‘grift’, after blindly defending Biden for years. 

Now it has emerged that KJP, as she is known, wanted a seat on The View, ABC’s chatty mid-morning panel show starring Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. 

Her hope was to replicate the post White House career of her predecessor Jen Psaki, who is now earning big bucks at MSNBC despite plummeting ratings.

But with a full panel on the morning show and no desire to shake it up, ABC turned her down.  

‘All of the chairs are full,’ a source close to production told Daily Mail.   

White House insiders say that Jean-Pierre only broke with the party after her hopes of becoming a panelist on The View didn’t pan out. Network sources tell Daily Mail ‘all of the chairs are full’  

Now, as she tries to distance herself from Biden and the job she once defended so ferociously, Jean-Pierre is facing tough criticism. 

Her book coincides with that of Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, who include her in the inner circle widely blamed for covering up Biden’s ailing health. 

Democrats say KJP has shamelessly sold out her friends and peers to try to cash in.  

One Democratic operative who worked with Jean-Pierre told Politico that her U-turn this week is ‘the most grift-y thing I’ve seen in a long time, and that’s saying something in Washington.’ 

Another former Biden White House staffer added to the outlet over text: ‘SHE was the public face telling us all that this White House was on track and that Biden was amazing. And now she doesn’t even want to be a Democrat????

‘She’s making herself the middle ground here when Republicans hate her. She’s not in any position to be a connector of our two party system and assuming she could be is just ego.’ 

Jean-Pierre’s publisher Hachette describes her book as an ‘urgent, timely analysis’ and urges Americans to ‘vote their values and maintain individuality within party lines.’ 

‘In a country obsessed with blind loyalty to a two-party democratic system, Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary to the Biden-Harris administration, shares why Americans must step beyond party lines to embrace life as Independents,’ according to an online release for the book. 

Hatchette, Jean-Pierre’s publisher, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations in Politico when contacted by Daily Mail. 

Jean Pierre did not respond to the piece. 

Jean-Pierre had hopes of emulating her predecessor as Biden’s spokesperson, Jen Psaki, who landed an anchor job at MSNBC after leaving the White House

‘Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent lightly,’ it says – indicating she has leaving the party, after working in the Biden administration.

Karine Jean-Pierre now says she is an independent. She is releasing this ‘tell all’ about a broken White House 

She worked as a political director for Obama. She also worked for liberal outside group MoveOn.

The write-up for her forthcoming book indicates she’ll take on people within the party who tried to force Biden to end his reelection campaign after his debate disaster.

‘She takes us through the three weeks that led to Biden’s abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision,’ according to the release. 

It calls it a ‘hard-hitting yet hopeful critique.’

The tome runs 256 pages, and goes on sale October 21.

Although she has been largely quiet since Biden left office following former Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat, Jean-Pierre referenced some of the scores she plans to settle during an interview in February at the Institute of Politics at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was the ultimate Biden loyalist while serving as his press secretary

She said the ‘toughest thing to see’ was a ‘firing squad’ during the weeks after Biden’s debate, when a series of party stalwarts pushed him to get out of the race, arguing he couldn’t defeat Donald Trump with his lousy approval ratings.

‘I had never seen anything like it before,’ she intoned. ‘I had never seen a party do that in the way that they did. And it was hurtful and sad to see that happening – a firing squad around a person who I believe was a true patriot.’

Harris’ loss to Trump in all seven heavily contested battleground states has led to a round of soul-searching among Democrats while Trump seeks to transform the country and takes on institutions from the Ivy League to the legal establishment to arts institutions like the Kennedy Center.

Prominent figures inside and outside Biden’s inner circle are getting quizzed on whether they themselves saw evidence of mental decline in the 82-year-old Democrat.

The White House last year was forced to deny a report of an internal plot to entice Jean-Pierre to leave her post, amid complaints about some of her stumbles her reliance on a binder of prepared information.
