White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki plans to leave the Biden administration for a new role at MSNBC. Aces and CNN reported Friday.
Psaki is said to have been trying for weeks to leave the required position in the White House and accept the position of press officer. The duration is approximately one year. According to Axios, he will travel in May to move the show to the network’s streaming platform, Peacock, and broadcast his views live on the news.
According to CNN, he is expected to remain in the White House until April 30 before the White House Correspondents Association dinner. This will be the first event since 2019 due to the corovirus pandemic.
After joining MSNBC, Psak will be joined by Simon Sanders, another senior communications officer and former spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris. Sanders is hosting a New Series of Names Beginning May 7 every Saturday and Sunday.
Prior to joining the Biden administration, Psaki worked as a political commentator for CNN. He served in the Obama administration’s White House Press Store before moving to the State Department, then returning to the White House until 2017 as director of communications.
In late March, Psaki released COVID-19 for the second time in four months. White House communications director Kate Bedingfield gave him press briefings and said he was the candidate for press secretary.
Psaki, who hails from Connecticut, is married and has two children.
