From NPR.

For nearly three years, Karine Jean-Pierre served as White House press secretary, the public face of the Biden administration through daily briefings and trips around the world.

In an interview with Michel Martin, Jean-Pierre spoke about a "growing number of people who see themselves as independents, including young people. We have to question, why is that?”

Jean-Pierre said her decision to identify as an independent was meant to start a conversation about the direction of American politics.
