Independent

a look inside a broken White House outside the party lines
Karine Jean-Pierre
Book - 2025

In this book, Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary, reflects on her decision to identify as an Independent after years of work within Democratic administrations. Drawing on her experiences in national politics, she describes the period leading up to President Biden's withdrawal from his reelection campaign and discusses her perspective on internal dynamics within the party. Jean-Pierre explores the role of political identity in the United States and encourages readers to consider their own values when engaging with the political process. She addresses issues related to misinformation in recent elections and offers her viewpoint on how individuals might navigate a highly polarized environment. Combining personal narrative with political analysis, the book examines the growing number of voters who do not align strictly with major parties and presents questions intended to help readers assess their own political positions. Jean-Pierre's account reflects on broader themes of civic engagement, democratic participation, and the evolving nature of the American electorate.
