Karine Jean-Pierre, former press secretary for Joe Biden, has left the Democratic Party and plans to publish a tell-all book titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, detailing her experiences during Biden’s presidency, including the circumstances leading to his decision to not seek a second term. Her departure is seen as controversial among Democrats, especially following recent critical revelations about Biden’s health and the party’s struggles after losing to Donald Trump. Jean-Pierre, a veteran political operative, emphasized her decision to become an independent in light of current political misinformation and regressiveness.
