Karine Jean-Pierre Promoted to Senior Adviser to President Biden

Jean-Pierre will maintain her role as press secretary while becoming a key adviser in the administration's final months.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the first Black and openly gay press secretary, has been promoted to senior adviser to President Joe Biden.
Despite internal criticism and past attempts to replace her, Jean-Pierre remains a trusted figure in Biden's team.
She will continue her duties as press secretary, marking the first time in decades someone has held both roles simultaneously.
The promotion underscores Biden's commitment to diverse and inter-generational voices within his administration.
Jean-Pierre's new position does not include a pay raise or changes in responsibilities, as she already earns $180,000 annually.
