Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary, has switched her party affiliation to independent and announced her upcoming book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines," set for release on October 21. The book critiques President Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 election, which she calls a betrayal by the Democratic Party. Jean-Pierre, who reportedly sought a role on "The View" after leaving the administration, has faced backlash from former Biden aides, who label her book a "grift" and criticize her performance as press secretary. Despite the criticism, she advocates for a departure from traditional party affiliations.
