Biden Taps Jen Psaki as White House Press Secretary in All-Female Communications Team

President-elect Joe Biden has built a senior communications team composed entirely of women, including Jen Psaki to be the face of the administration as White House press secretary, his transition said Sunday.

Psaki, a former Obama White House communications director and State Department spokeswoman, has been an on-camera spokeswoman for Biden’s transition office. Kate Bedingfield, deputy campaign manager and communications director during the 2020 campaign, will be Biden’s White House communications director.

Ashley Etienne, a former communications director and senior adviser to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will be Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’s communications director. Symone Sanders, one of Biden’s most visible campaign aides, will be senior adviser and chief spokesperson for Harris. Sanders advised Harris and traveled with her during the final weeks of the campaign, a task she’s continued in during the transition.

Karine Jean-Pierre will be principal deputy press secretary after serving as a senior adviser during the campaign. She also worked on Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns and in his White House as a regional political director. Pili Tobar, the Biden campaign’s communications director for coalitions, will be deputy communications director.

Liz Alexander, whose work with Biden dates back to his time in the Senate, will be communications director for Jill Biden.

She better catch up on all of the ice cream flavors, that Joe"s cabinet loves. If she's going to answer all of the media's question.

It seems creepy Joe is slowly but surely building a harem.

Discontentment is born from the perception that one autonomously works towards a desire one owns🎈

[someonenew]

Biden should really wait on picking his cabinet or anyone else for that matter until the Supreme Court decides who the next president is

[buckfiden]

Joe is going to be real busy smelling all their hair.

[jupiterregional]

Look, here's the deal: people playing with their pets fracture their bones all the time I'm not scared I'm not scared I'm not scared

[enjoyesk]

We will finally have a press secretary that won’t lie to us whenever she speaks.

[IAM-cteu]

She got the tap. Time to join the occult.

[nuffsaid]

Can’t wait to see all the hard hitting questions by the media.
