Karine Jean-Pierre made history this week as the first black woman and first openly gay person to be named White House press secretary, replacing her boss Jen Psaki.
Jean-Pierre, 44, who grew up in Queens, will be taking over the top communications job May 13, after spending more than a year working as a deputy press secretary for the Biden administration.
Psaki, 43, announced last month that she will be leaving the White House later in the spring. She is expected to join MSNBC as a political commentator.
In her remarks in the White House Briefing Room on Thursday, Psaki referred to her successor as “my friend, my colleague, my partner in truth.”
Here’s everything we know about Jean-Pierre:
Jean-Pierre got her professional start working at the Center for Community and Corporate Ethics, a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 to study the impact of large corporations on society and to develop standards for responsible corporate behavior.
She also has served as a senior aide on staffs for two members of the New York City Council and acted as a campaign manager for the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Initiative.
She later went on to work on President Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, as deputy manager for Democratic former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s failed 2016 presidential bid and as a member of Biden’s campaign team in 2020.
When not campaigning for Democratic hopefuls, Jean-Pierre frequently appeared on NBC and MSNBC as a political analyst.
In 2014, Jean-Pierre was tapped to teach at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, her alma mater.
Jean-Pierre was born in the French territory Martinique to Haitian parents, who later emigrated to the US and settled in Queens, where she grew up and graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School in 1993.
She earned her bachelor’s degree from the New York Institute of Technology in 1997 and received a master’s in public affairs from Columbia University’s SIPA in 2003.
In 2019, Jean-Pierre published a memoir titled, “ Moving Forward: A Story of Hope, Hard Work, and the Promise of America .” The book follows her journey as an immigrant growing up in New York’s Haitian community to working in the Obama administration.
Jean-Pierre lives in Washington, DC, with her partner, CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, 54, and their adopted daughter, Soleil.
Jean-Pierre is openly gay. She shared her difficult coming-out story in a Twitter thread for Pride Month last year, revealing that when she first told her mother she was gay at age 16, “the revolted look on her face sent me running back into the proverbial closet and slamming the door shut.”
Jean-Pierre confided that after that traumatic experience, her sexuality became a family secret and stayed that way for years.
But she said her mother eventually came around on her being gay “and is now proud of ALL of whom I am; she loves my partner and she loves being a doting grandmother to the daughter we are raising.”

Peter Doocy confronts White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy confronted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre with her own past tweets denying election results Tuesday, asking her whether it was as "extreme" to do so in 2016 as it was in 2020.
Jean-Pierre claimed on Twitter that former President Donald Trump had stolen the election in 2016 and that Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp had stolen his election in 2018. Doocy pressed the White House spokesperson to explain why "MAGA Republicans" were facing so much criticism for their claims that the 2020 election was stolen when she and other Democrats had cast doubt on other elections.
"You tweeted in 2016 that Trump stole an election," Doocy began.
"Oh, I knew this was coming," Jean-Pierre said, cutting him off. "I was waiting, Peter, for when you were going to ask me that question."

"Well, here we go," Doocy responded. "You tweeted Trump stole an election. You tweeted Brian Kemp stole an election. If denying election results is extreme now, why wasn't it then?"
"Let's be really clear: That comparison you just made is ridiculous," Jean-Pierre said, adding that she was speaking specifically about voting rights at the time.
"Governor Kemp won the election in Georgia. I have been clear about that," she continued. "I have said President Trump won the election in 2016, and I have been clear about that. What we are talking about right now is, let's not forget, what happened on Jan. 6th, 2021. We saw an insurrection, a mob, that was incited by the person who occupied [the White House]. … It was an attack on our democracy."

President Joe Biden had described "MAGA Republicans" as a threat to Democracy in a Philadelphia speech last week. The president has attempted to push Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol into center stage ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
"MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards," Biden said. "Backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love."
"Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic," he continued. "MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of the law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election."

Fox News ’s Peter Doocy joined the list of conservatives taking issue with Joe Biden calling out Donald Trump and the ongoing threat that his efforts to spread conspiracies and lies about the 2020 election on Tuesday.
Doocy once again sparred with Mr Biden’s press team at the White House’s daily news briefing, hosted on Tuesday by press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre .
The right-leaning journalist questioned Ms Pierre about her own past remarks about Donald Trump supposedly stealing the 2016 election, which Ms Jean-Pierre made when she was a private citizen. Many Democrats harboured similar views at the time given the reporting about Russian election interference, although Mr Trump’s campaign was never proven to have been connected to those malicious efforts.
“If denying election results is extreme now, why wasn't it then?" asked Mr Doocy.
Ms Jean-Pierre responded that his question was “ridiculous”.
Indeed, the comparisons between Donald Trump’s efforts after the 2020 election, which continue to this day, and past complaints by various Democrats of supposed election shenanigans are hardly fair. Mr Trump’s supporters attacked Congress in an unprecedented and historical assault on January 6, 2021, while the president’s own campaign legal team had for months sought to impede the transfer of power by convincing state legislatures to pass resolutions declaring their respective states’ results invalid, despite those lawmaking bodies having zero constitutional authority to do so.
No former president in US history has ever publicly demanded to be reinstated in the White House nearly two years after being defeated at the ballot box, either. Mr Trump has trodden new ground on both those fronts, leading to never-before-seen distrust in America’s election systems by wide swaths of his party.
Fox News platformed Mr Trump’s conspiracies about the 2020 election for weeks after Mr Trump was defeated, but eventually those views were driven off the cable news network by legal action taken by the manufacturers of voting machines which were the targets of many such conspiracies.
The network has loudly denounced the lawsuits it now faces of from Smartmatic and Dominion voting systems, which are both seeking billions in damages.
"We are confident we will prevail as freedom of the press is foundational to our democracy and must be protected, in addition to the damages claims being outrageous, unsupported and not rooted in sound financial analysis, serving as nothing more than a flagrant attempt to deter our journalists from doing their jobs,” a network spokesperson previously said.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday if she believes the 2016 election was “stolen” following criticisms leveled by President Biden against the GOP. Doocy was referencing a number of tweets Jean-Pierre sent around the time of former President Trump’s election, during which she suggested the 2016 presidential…
During the White House press briefing on Tuesday, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy confronted Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre with old tweets in which she accused various Republicans of stealing elections, an offense which she now routinely denounces in the context of former president Trump’s claims about the 2020 election. In December 2016, Jean-Pierre accused Trump of having stolen his electoral victory over Hillary Clinton.

Serbia's Ana Brnabic expressed willingness to compromise on Monday during her first visit to Kosovo since becoming prime minister almost five years ago, a day after Germany and France appealed to Serbia and Kosovo to resolve a flare-up in tension. Unrest among Serbs in northern Kosovo over demands for them to use Kosovo documents has raised fears of conflict between the two countries, more than two decades after NATO bombed Serbia to end repression of Kosovo's Albanian majority. Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's independence and around 3,700 NATO peacekeepers still patrol to prevent violence between the Albanian and Serb communities.
On September 6, 2022, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that President Biden’s decision to not designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism is final, despite pleas from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to do so.
Trump Jr reminded of his own rhetoric after accusing Biden of delivering ‘arguably the most divisive speech in American history’
Pope Francis on Wednesday called for a stop to the current "world war", calling on "everyone to be builders of peace" as he invoked special prayers for "martyred Ukraine." "I am not forgetting the martyred Ukraine," Francis said at the end of his weekly audience in St Peter's Square. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the pope has on several occasions condemned the conflict, while at the same time holding back on direct criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

President Biden used a Labor Day speech in Wisconsin to attack "extreme MAGA Republicans" who Biden said "have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division."
The possibility of a great red wave still looms. The political landscape, while still in flux, follows a string of President Joe Biden's legislative victories on climate, health care and gun violence, just as Donald Trump's hand-picked candidates in electoral battlegrounds like Arizona, Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania struggle to broaden their appeal. The abortion ruling “has energized some segments, especially the Democratic constituency, and it has thrown a wrench, at least to some extent, into the hopes of winning a ton of seats.”
STORY: U.S. President Joe Biden doubled down on his criticism of what he calls "MAGA Republicans" on Monday... accusing them of putting democracy at stake.“This new group (MAGA Republicans), headed by the former (U.S.) President (Donald Trump), the former defeated President, we found ourselves in the situation where we were either going to look forward or look backwards and it’s clear which way he wants to look. It’s clear which way the new MAGA Republicans are. They are extreme and democracy is really at stake..."Biden was trying to drum up voter turnout among union workers at Labor Day events in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.The two states are critical in November's midterm races when his party's control of Congress will be hanging in the balance.Republicans have recently accused Biden of turning his back on large segments of the American public who voted Republican--after a speech last week, when Biden blasted Republicans devoted to former President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again agenda.However earlier on Monday in Milwaukee, Biden had stressed that he was not smearing all of the GOP."I want to be very clear up front. Not every Republican is a MAGA Republican. Not every Republican embraces that extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with mainstream Republicans in my whole career. But the extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division. Union members in the U.S. have traditionally supported Democratic candidates.However, Trump eroded that support as struggling working-class Americans defected to the Republican party.And recently, Republicans have been hammering the high inflation rate plaguing the U.S. economy, claiming that Biden and his policies are responsible.
