Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who served under two Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, has a brand new book coming out this fall titled “Independent,” and it contains a shocking revelation.

Jean-Pierre has, according to the book, switched her political affiliation, ditching the Democratic Party and registering as an independent. The book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House,” is due to be released on Oct. 21.

“Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States,” Jean-Pierre, who became the first Black woman and openly gay person to hold the position of White House press secretary, went on to say in a statement released Wednesday.

“At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. 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,” she continued.

Jean-Pierre, 50, was the successor of former press secretary Jen Psaki in 2022 after she had previously served as deputy press secretary and worked as a senior adviser during Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. Back during Obama’s first term, she served as a regional political director.

Many of Jean-Pierre’s critics accused her of evading serious, tough questions about Biden’s physical and cognitive health. The announcement about the forthcoming book revealed it will take 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.”

“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 announcement added.

The former press secretary often got into scrappy skirmishes with Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy. Both got into almost daily verbal sparring matches, particularly on the topic of Biden’s overall physical condition.

One infamous encounter the two shared happened in October 2024 over hurricane relief and aid being sent to Lebanon. The Biden administration decided to allocate a total of $157 million in aid to Lebanon, while requiring congressional approval for domestic disaster relief after Hurricane Helene ravaged North Carolina.

During that exchange, Jean-Pierre accused Doocy of spreading misinformation, emphasizing that the administration had already allocated over $200 million to domestic disaster relief. Things got so hot that she abruptly exited the briefing room.
