(CNN)Karine Jean-Pierre will become the new White House press secretary when Jen Psaki departs her role in the coming weeks, President Joe Biden announced in a statement Thursday, becoming the first Black and out LGBTQ person to hold the position.

Jean-Pierre currently serves as the White House's principal deputy press secretary.

"Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people," Biden said in a statement, adding that "Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning decency, respect and decorum to the White House Briefing Room."

Jean-Pierre will formally begin following Psaki's last day, which will be May 13. CNN reported in April that Psaki was planning on leaving her role for one at MSNBC

1. I hope she has even more GFY to these Fox and RW reporters as Psaki had.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. She'll probably get ample opportunity for that

I look for the scumbags of RW media to try baiting her constantly. Mark my words.

[AZLD4Candidate]

11. Even money they yes either the words or some variant of the words uppity and nasty to describe her.

[wnylib]

26. I expect them to be even more direct

in their racism and contemptuous treatment of her.

I don't know anything about her, but I am sure that she knows what she will be up against and is prepared to handle it or she would not have accepted the position.

Hope she crushes the hell out of the RW scum. Politely and professionally, of course.

[mcar]

2. She's trained with the best

and has good background and experience of her own.

[CTyankee]

4. I like her. She has a commanding, no bs presence.

She fits comfortably in, now that Psaki is moving up and on.

[Richard D]

5. I look forward to watching her . . .

. . . rub doucy's nose into the carpet.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

6. She is the obvious pick.

She will be great!

[FakeNoose]

7. I have no doubt she's been training for this role

We knew Jen Psaki would only stay as WH Press Secretary a short time. Originally she said she was only there for one year, so I'm sure Karine Jean-Pierre was chosen with that in mind. Good luck Karine, you have some mighty large shoes to fill.

8. Oh my that is going to freak out the MAGAts.

[Ford_Prefect]

9. In your face to the RW Q-mongering press and all their minions!

[LittleGirl]

10. She'll be amazing.

Congratulations! I wish her nothing but the best!

[Beastly Boy]

12. Also the first openly gay press secretary. And, I believe, the first immigrant press secretary.

[mcar]

13. Didn't think about the immigrant part

[Paladin]

14. It'll get ugly with the rightwing press. They won't be able to control themselves.

I hope the punishments are severe and meted out in public, for all to see.

[Beastly Boy]

18. She has a lifetime's worth of experience dealing with bigots, on so many levels.

I have no doubt she is capable of humiliating them with grace and ease, and they will not even see it coming.

Damn, I am proud of her!

[twodogsbarking]

15. I am interested. This could be as much fun as Jen was/is.

[Beastly Boy]

20. Oh, it will be more fun than Jen.

Imagine a black gay immigrant Jen. That's how much fun it's gonna be.

[TlalocW]

16. Conservatives were already flipping their collective gourd over a White woman

Not taking their bullshit. But a Black woman is going to drive them over the edge.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the gay part will bother them as much since all democratic women are lesbians anyway in their mind.

TlalocW

[milestogo]

21. Democratic women are overeducated lesbian cat-ladies who have abortions every two weeks.

[TlalocW]

22. Also, witches

Don't forget that long ago, Pat Robertson also proclaimed them as witches.

[jmowreader]

32. I thought it was once every three days

They make shopping lists…get nails done, buy milk, get abortion, buy new milk because the last milk went bad while getting the abortion…

[milestogo]

35. Well you have to get an appointment at the abortionplex, of course...

[AncientOfDays]

36. From usnet:

"It is unknown if the African-American Jean-Pierre self identifies as a
black, or a woman."

Yes, they are already at it.

[3catwoman3]

17. The press secretary position...

…must be exhausting. I wouldn’t last a day.

[Talitha]

19. Wonderful news!!!

[Maine Abu El Banat]

23. This news put a smile on my face

She's brilliant, and I think she will do a fantastic job.

[Rebl2]

24. I thought

she might be on the list of replacements.

[Wild blueberry]

25. She'll be superb

Even with a tough act to follow. Brava!

[Delmette2.0]

27. She seems to be a very tough lady.

Go get 'em with respect and a smile.

[Auggie]

28. Great news!

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Hope she kicks some butt

and takes names!

[mcar]

30. She'll do it with a smile

[BumRushDaShow]

31. That would be the beauty of it!

[mcar]

33. I will miss Psaki and my daily Psaki Bombs

But I think KJP is more than up to the task.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Oh I know

I hope she has time do tweet some "asides" on the side while on her "break".

And agree Karine will be phenomenal.

I had a mother who always kept track of all the Press Secretaries (and was the original "CSPAN junkie" ).

[littlemissmartypants]

37. Yay!!! ❤

[Demovictory9]

38. excellent

[zanana1]
