Psaki said she was upfront with the Biden team that she wanted to spend more time with her family after serving for about a year in the role.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in an interview she plans to serve in her administration role for about a year before moving on to spend more time with her family. Psaki made the comments during an hourlong interview with David Axelrod, her former colleague when they served under President Barack Obama, saying after a year of service, “I think it’s going to be time for somebody else to have this job. It’s not uncommon for the press secretary role to experience a high level of turnover: Former President Donald Trump had four, Obama had three and former President George W. Bush had four as well. “When I talked to the inner circle of the Biden orbit about this, we talked about coming in and doing this job for a year, which was quite appealing to me for many reasons,” Psaki said during the interview. “One, what a moment in history to be a part of. It’s always true in the White House, but I think following Trump especially, if you can take the temperature down a little bit, that’s a cool thing to be a part of.”More Related News
