The description of her book, titled Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” says she “didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent lightly.”The book, which will be released in October, will examine “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,” according to a book description from Legacy Lit, an imprint of Hachette Book Group.That suggests Jean-Pierre’s book may further fuel the intraparty argument over whether Biden should have sought reelection given his age and questions about his mental acuity. Biden dropped out of the race last summer after a disastrous debate performance, making way for former Vice President Kamala Harris, who eventually lost to President Donald Trump.https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/politics/karine-jean-pierre-biden-book

“Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States. At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country,” Jean-Pierre said in a statement to CNN. “We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past.”
This is the same person who spent years spinning lies about Biden’s cognitive state as his handlers busily reshaped the country behind the scenes, and calling videos of him getting lost on stage “cheap fakes.” Clearly, KJP is the epitome of credibility for this topic. It turns out that the book, set for release in October, is already brewing up its own scandal.For starters, Jean-Pierre's former White House colleagues are trashing her as “ineffectual and unprepared.”"She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved,” a former White House official told Axios.“It's difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab,” said a former Biden communications official.Another former White House official was even more brutal. "The amount of time that was spent coddling [Jean-Pierre] and appeasing her was astronomical compared to our attention on actual matters of substance,” the official said.Well, duh. It was clear from day one that she was completely out of her depth — unprepared, unqualified, and visibly uncomfortable in the role. She stumbled through press briefings, dodged basic questions, and constantly clung to her notes like a lifeline. Things got so bad that the White House had to bring in Pentagon spokesman John Kirby just to prop her up.
What they're saying: One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she "was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with. ... She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.""She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved," the official said.A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire: "The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power -- which ... bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name -- but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate ... It's difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab."Another former White House official familiar with the dynamics told Axios: "The amount of time that was spent coddling [Jean-Pierre] and appeasing her was astronomical compared to our attention on actual matters of substance."
