Psaki introduces Karine Jean-Pierre as 1st Black, LGBTQ White House secretary

Global News published this video item, entitled “Psaki introduces Karine Jean-Pierre as 1st Black, LGBTQ White House secretary” – below is their description.

On Thursday, current White House press secretary Jen Psaki introduced her incoming successor Karine Jean-Pierre, who will be the first Black and openly LGBTQ person to serve as the public face of a U.S. administration.

Psaki, who leaves the job on May 13, had previously said she planned to stay in her role with the Biden administration for approximately one year, which started in January of 2021. Following her departure, Psaki is expected to become a TV host at MSNBC.

Jean-Pierre has served as deputy press secretary since the beginning of U.S. President Joe Biden’s term. She worked on his 2020 presidential campaign, in President Barack Obama’s White House, and was chief public affairs officer for MoveOn.org, a progressive advocacy group.

Biden has pledged to name top officials, cabinet members and judges who reflect the diversity of America, where white people make up less than 60% of the population but have traditionally held the majority of top government jobs.
