US EditionIn ‘Independent,’ Karine Jean-Pierre Says the Two-Party System Isn’t Working
Karine Jean-Pierre offers a roadmap for political engagement beyond Democrats and Republicans, criticizing party loyalty and urging independent action against a failing two-party system.
- On October 21, Karine Jean‑Pierre released Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, which she described as a `road map` away from the two‑party system.
- Jean‑Pierre says she began considering independence after President Joe Biden announced he would drop out and was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, following the Democratic Party's `firing squad` on Biden after a disastrous debate.
- Jean‑Pierre, who served as White House press secretary, spent two decades working for Presidents Obama and Biden and reflects on being the first Black woman and openly queer in that role.
- Urging young readers, Jean‑Pierre says being Independent means thinking critically without rejecting Democratic Party values and encourages engagement as their issues remain unaddressed.
- Pointing to election numbers, Jean‑Pierre notes more than 81 million voted for the Democratic nominee in 2020 while Harris received approximately six million fewer votes in 2024.
