According to her book's publisher, former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre left the Democratic Party.

Americans are being urged to "embrace life as independents" by former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who served under two Democratic presidents and had one of the most prominent positions in the Biden administration.

This fall, former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will publish a book that urges reconsideration of the two-party system and offers a detailed analysis of President Biden's choice to not seek reelection.

According to Legacy Lit, a Hachette Book Group imprint that will release "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines" on October 21, Jean-Pierre herself has changed her affiliation to independent after working in two Democratic administrations.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Jean-Pierre, the first Black woman and out lesbian person to serve as White House press secretary, stated, "Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States."

I became a private citizen at noon on that day, and like all Americans and many of our international allies, I had to face the future of our nation. I came to the conclusion that we must break free from boxes in order to confront the threat we face as a nation. We must be prepared to use our capacity for strategic planning and creative thought.

Jean-Pierre, 50, was a key adviser during Biden's successful 2020 campaign and served as deputy press secretary before taking over as press secretary in 2022 from Jen Psaki. She served as a regional political director during the first term of President Barack Obama.

At times, Jean-Pierre faced criticism for his lack of clarity regarding Biden's health. She will walk readers "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 Legacy Lit its statement on Wednesday.
