Leftists are completely shocked. They didn’t see this coming.
And a former Biden official ditches the Democrat Party after making a stunning announcement.
In a surprising turn that’s got the left scrambling, former Biden White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has come out swinging against her old party. She’s spilling the beans in her new memoir, detailing why she’s ditching the Democrats for good and going independent. After years of spinning for the administration, Jean-Pierre’s had enough of what she sees as outright treachery from within.
The bombshell excerpt, as reported by Newsweek, zeros in on that fateful phone call when Joe Biden broke the news to his inner circle that he was bowing out of the 2024 race. It’s a moment that lays bare the chaos and backstabbing in Democratic ranks.
“Biden seemed to be totally at peace with his decision, but I was stunned, my feelings a blur. I was angry and sad. I was enraged and heartbroken that this man had given more than 50 years of his life to serving the American people, and in the end he’d been treated poorly by members of his own party. It was horrible,” Jean-Pierre stated.
This raw emotion hits hard, especially coming from someone who stood at the podium day after day, insisting Biden was sharp as a tack. But reality crashed down after that disastrous debate with Donald Trump, where Biden’s stumbles were impossible to ignore.
Jean-Pierre admits she never saw the dropout coming. She spent her time touting Biden’s supposed vigor, both physically and mentally, only to watch it all unravel and drag the party down with it.
Yet, in her eyes, the real villain isn’t Biden’s decline—it’s the Democrats who turned on him like wolves. She paints a picture of a loyal servant abandoned by the very machine he helped build.
“The Democratic Party had defined my life, my career,” Jean-Pierre said. “Everything I’d done to make people’s lives better had been connected to it. The party was the vehicle that allowed me not just to have a front seat to history, working first on [Barack] Obama’s presidential campaign then in his administration, but also to make some history of my own as the first Black woman and openly queer person to ever be a White House press secretary. Never had I considered leaving the party until now.”
She was also gearing up for her first post-dropout appearance on ABC’s “The View,” that echo chamber of liberal talking points.
That’s when the frustration boiled over into action. Jean-Pierre describes a moment of clarity amid the disappointment, pushing her to break free from party loyalty.
“Now the cloud of unease hovering over me solidified into an idea about how I could possibly do something different. How I could channel my disappointment into some kind of concrete action that would allow me to fight for what I believed in without giving blind loyalty to a party I felt no longer deserved it,” she stated.
And then comes the mic-drop line that must have sent shockwaves through Democratic headquarters:
“‘You know what? I’m going to become an independent. I don’t think I can stomach being in the Democratic Party anymore,’” Jean-Pierre said.
Jean-Pierre doesn’t hold back, blasting the Democrats for forming a “firing squad” against their own leader. Biden was shoved off the ticket last July after relentless pressure from party elites, all triggered by his weak showing against Trump.
This insider account exposes the ruthless power plays in Washington, where even a sitting president gets tossed aside if he threatens the establishment’s grip. Jean-Pierre, with her front-row seat, saw it all unfold.
Before her White House gig, she cut her teeth on Democratic campaigns and as an MSNBC analyst, making her defection all the more shocking. She dropped the news of leaving the party back in June, right alongside announcing her book.
This move by Jean-Pierre is a wake-up call for anyone still buying the Democrats’ unity facade. It’s proof that the party’s elite will chew up and spit out anyone—even a lifelong devotee like Biden—to cling to power.
