Join former White House press secretary under President Biden, Karine Jean-Pierre with acclaimed comedian Roy Wood Jr., in conversation about her new book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.
After serving in both the Obama and Biden administrations, Karine Jean-Pierre has decided to step outside of partisan boxes to become an Independent — a decision she did not come to lightly. Why? In an urgent, timely analysis, Independent provides an answer, and urges all Americans to vote their values. Presenting clear arguments and provocative insider observations from the Biden White House, Jean-Pierre defines why it can be worthwhile to carve a political space more loyal to personal beliefs than a party affiliation.
In a special conversation, hear Jean-Pierre and Roy Wood Jr. discuss how she came to her decision — the tumultuous three weeks that culminated in Biden’s decision abandoning his bid for a second term, what it means to think outside the blue-and-red box, and much more.
