The Biden administration has made even the strongest Democrats want to change parties.

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has officially left the Democratic Party.

KJP announced switching parties in her new book.

The Hill reported on what party she switched too:

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who worked for two Democratic presidents and had one of the most public-facing roles in the Biden administration, is urging Americans to “embrace life as independents.”

Jean-Pierre shares her message with readers in a forthcoming book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” poised to be released in October by Hachette Book Group’s Legacy Lit imprint.

The book is described in promotional materials as a “groundbreaking, revelatory assessment of America’s broken two-party system.”

“Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an independent lightly,” a description of the book from the publisher said “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.”

Here’s how social media reacted:

 

Despite turning her back on the Democrats now, KP firmly lied to Americans and claimed Bien was as “sharp” as ever, even though he was clearly mentally declining.

Per The New York Post:

In July, she insisted the president was “sharp as ever,” despite repeated evidence to the contrary.
Biden, in turn, stood by Jean-Pierre — the first non-white and openly gay White House press secretary — amid sustained criticism from West Wing detractors and rivals who viewed her as ineloquent and often unprepared to brief reporters.

Jean-Pierre’s tenure was marked by unflinching defenses of Biden’s mental acuity and performance, according to reports.

In late 2023, Jean-Pierre survived a push to coax her to leave by then-White House communications chief Antia Dunn, who claimed she had the support of Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to nudge Jean-Pierre out the door.

Although Jean-Pierre was known for her friendly demeanor with reporters, fellow Biden aides said she offered a less-than-compelling defense of the aging president by haltingly reading directly from a binder during Q&As.

“She doesn’t have a grasp of the issues and doesn’t spend the time to learn,” an insider explained at the time of Dunn’s attempted coup.
