Karine Jean-Pierre (born August 13, 1977) is a French-American political advisor who has served as the White House press secretary since May 13, 2022, following the departure of Jen Psaki, making her the first Black person and the first openly LGBTQ person to be press secretary. She previously served as the deputy press secretary to Psaki from 2021 to 2022. She served as the chief of staff for U.S. vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris during the 2020 presidential campaign.

Previously, Jean-Pierre was the senior advisor and national spokeswoman for MoveOn.org and a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. She is also a former lecturer in international and public affairs at Columbia University.

Early life

Jean-Pierre was born on August 13, 1977, in Fort-de-France, Martinique, the daughter of Haitian parents. She has two younger siblings. At the age of five, her family relocated into Queens Village neighborhood of Queens, a borough of New York City. Her mother worked as a home health aide and was active in her Pentecostal church, while her father was a taxi driver. Since both parents worked most days of the week, Jean-Pierre was often responsible for caring for her younger siblings.

In her 2019 memoir, Jean-Pierre wrote that she was sexually abused by an older male cousin when she was between the ages of seven and ten.

Jean-Pierre graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School, a college-preparatory school on Long Island in 1993. She obtained a B.S. from the New York Institute of Technology in 1997. She earned a Master of Public Affairs from the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University (SIPA) in 2003, where she served in student government and decided to pursue politics.

Career

Early career

Following graduate school, Jean-Pierre worked as the director of legislative and budget affairs for New York City councilor James F. Gennaro. In 2006, she was hired as the outreach coordinator for Walmart Watch in Washington, D.C. She was the southeast regional political director for the John Edwards presidential campaign in 2004. She joined the Columbia University faculty in 2014, where she is a lecturer in international and public affairs.

Obama-Biden administration

During the Barack Obama 2008 presidential campaign, Jean-Pierre was the campaign's southeast regional political director and was the regional political director for the White House Office of Political Affairs during the Obama administration's first term.

In 2011, Jean-Pierre served as National Deputy Battleground States Director for President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. She led the delegate selection and ballot access process and managed the political engagement in key states, providing resources to help states determine "the best way for them to get the word out for the campaign."

Jean-Pierre served as the deputy campaign manager for the Martin O'Malley 2016 presidential campaign.

MoveOn and political commentary

In April 2016, MoveOn named Jean-Pierre a senior advisor and national spokesperson for the 2016 presidential election. In a press release announcing the hire, MoveOn said she would "advise on and serve as a spokesperson around MoveOn's electoral work, including a major effort to stand up to Donald Trump."

In January 2019, Jean-Pierre became a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.

Jean-Pierre has worked at the Center for Community and Corporate Ethics. In December 2018, The Haitian Times named her one of six "Haitian Newsmakers Of The Year".

Biden-Harris administration

Jean-Pierre worked as a senior advisor to the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign. She joined the Biden team in May 2020, and explained to The Haitian Times that a desire to shape the future was especially motivating; she said that when she was approached by the campaign, she looked at her daughter and thought, "There is no way I can not get involved in this election." In August, it was announced that Jean-Pierre would serve as the Chief of Staff for Biden's vice presidential nominee, who had not yet been announced.

On November 29, the Biden-Harris transition team announced that Jean-Pierre had been made Principal Deputy Press Secretary. On May 26, 2021, she gave her first White House press briefing, becoming the first openly gay woman to do so and the first Black woman to do so since 1991. She was named to Fast Company's "Queer 50" list in 2021.

On May 5, it was announced that she would succeed Jen Psaki as White House Press Secretary on May 13. Jean-Pierre is the first Black person and first openly LGBTQ person to serve in the role.

Personal life

As of 2020, Jean-Pierre lives in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area with her partner, CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, and their daughter.
