Karine Jean-Pierre will serve as the new White House press secretary, replacing Jen Psaki, who will leave the role later this month, the White House announced Thursday. Jean-Pierre will be the first Black woman and also first openly LGBTQ person to hold the position. Psaki's last day will be on May 13. “Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people,” President Joe Biden said in a statement.
