Just in :ABC News first reported White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to a senior adviser for the last few months of the Biden administration.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to Senior Adviser to President Joe Biden, a move signaling her increasing influence within the administration.

While she will retain her current role as press secretary, Jean-Pierre will now also play a more prominent advisory role in Biden’s team during the final months of his first term. This dual role is a reflection of the president’s trust in her as a key member of his staff.

Jean-Pierre’s promotion comes at a critical time, as the administration gears up for the 2024 election and navigates key domestic and international issues. Her expanded responsibilities are expected to strengthen Biden’s communication strategy and decision-making process. Since joining the White House, Jean-Pierre has been a notable figure, becoming the first Black and openly LGBTQ+ person to serve as press secretary.

This move underscores her ongoing importance in Biden’s administration as she helps shape the political narrative leading into the election year.
