flag White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended her claim that pushing for an open primary after Biden’s exit was an insult to Kamala Harris, citing systemic racism and sexism against Black women.

flag White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, in a New Yorker interview, defended her book's claim that calling for an open primary after President Biden exited the 2024 race was an insult to Vice President Kamala Harris. flag As a Black woman, she argued the push reflected a broader pattern of the Democratic Party dismissing Black women’s voices, despite their central role. flag She maintained Harris, as Biden’s vice president, was the most qualified successor and that skepticism toward her candidacy stemmed from systemic racism and sexism. flag Jean-Pierre said her views stem from personal experience, not a judgment on others’ political beliefs, and reiterated her shift from identifying as a Democrat to an Independent. flag The remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny of the Biden administration, including recent testimony on the president’s health.
