Critics may find it surprising for Jean-Pierre to take a more independent stance after serving as Biden&#8217;s spokesperson during a tumultuous time, especially given her history of defending him publicly. <\/p>\n<p>In her upcoming book, it remains unclear how she will critique the Biden governance or address the perception of a &#8220;broken&#8221; White House, as she was frequently enough tasked with portraying a positive image of the administration. jean-Pierre, who faced scrutiny during her press briefings, has raised questions about how candidly she will discuss Biden&#8217;s fitness to lead and the dynamics within the White House. As debates about Biden&#8217;s capabilities continue, her book has the potential to illuminate the inner workings of his administration during periods of decline and uncertainty.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Will Karine Jean-Pierre spill the beans on Biden?<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2139789\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">book<\/a> will soon be added to the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >growing pile reappraising<\/a> former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Biden<\/a>&rsquo;s time in office, this time coming from the inside.<\/p>\n<p>Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">White House <\/a>press secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/karine-jean-pierre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Karine Jean-Pierre<\/a> teased the release of <em>Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines <\/em>by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3430892\/karine-jean-pierre-walks-away-from-democratic-party-follow-own-compass-independent-book\/\">announcing<\/a> her departure from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Democratic Party<\/a>.

She is likely to be independent in the same way as Sens. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bernie-sanders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bernie Sanders<\/a> (I-VT) and Angus King (I-VT), both of whom caucus with the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear how Jean-Pierre will treat Biden or portray the White House as &ldquo;broken&rdquo; in her book. But her job was to spin for Biden as his press secretary and she has been defensive of him since the administration ended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I had never seen anything like it before. I had never seen a party do that in the way that they did, and it was hurtful and sad to see that happening. A firing squad around a person who I believe was a true patriot, a person who I believe did everything that he can for this country,&rdquo; Jean-Pierre said in February of the Democrats&rsquo; successful campaign to push Biden out of the 2024 presidential race while he was in the depths of his post-debate doldrums.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre had also led the charge in defending Biden&rsquo;s fitness to run and serve as she swatted away questions about his age-related decline. &ldquo;Don, you&rsquo;re asking me this question,&rdquo; she replied in 2022 when Don Lemon asked her on CNN about Biden&rsquo;s ability to seek reelection. &ldquo;Oh, my gosh. He&rsquo;s the president of the United States. I can&rsquo;t even keep up with him.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If CNN&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jake-tapper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Jake Tapper<\/a> received criticism for co-authoring the bestseller <em>Original Sin: President Biden&rsquo;s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again <\/em>when he wasn&rsquo;t on the cutting edge of the story before Biden dropped out, the reaction to Jean-Pierre writing an even subtly anti-Biden book at this point would be thunderous.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and the media have already started panning the new book. &ldquo;As Biden&rsquo;s press secretary, Jean-Pierre&rsquo;s halting, ineffectual briefings exasperated reporters and routinely offered material for the Republican Party&rsquo;s main account on X,&rdquo; <em>Politico <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/06\/04\/karine-jean-pierre-leaving-democratic-party-00385060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">reported<\/a>. &ldquo;She frustrated colleagues throughout the West Wing for focusing on raising her own profile while leaving the hands-on management of media relations and the White House press shop to other aides.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This paragraph is from the reporter.

But Jean-Pierre&rsquo;s briefings probably made less news outside the Beltway, which might have been to the White House&rsquo;s benefit, and she took over the position as Biden&rsquo;s political position was deteriorating.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t a straight line of decline; he had good days and bad,&rdquo; Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson of <em>Axios<\/em> write of the aging Biden.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/magazine-features\/3424947\/media-credibility-in-flames-biden-decline-cover-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>CREDIBILITY BONFIRE: HOW THE LEFTIST MEDIA COVERED UP BIDEN&rsquo;S PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DECLINE&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A truly independent look at this time period from someone close to Biden&rsquo;s inner circle could be illuminating, especially as Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3431887\/trump-directs-vast-doj-investigation-biden-health-cover-up-white-house-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">orders an investigation<\/a> into the matter.
