The President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, has a team of experienced women to communicate in the White House. “Communicating directly and sincerely with the people of the United States is one of the most important tasks of a president,” Biden said Sunday night. The prominent role of the government spokesperson goes to Jen Psaki.
Psaki was under former Democratic President Barack Obama, among other things, White House communications director and State Department spokesman. Since the election, Psaki had held several briefings with Biden reporters. It seemed clear and professional. His White House deputy will be Karine Jean-Pierre, who last worked for Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, as Biden explained.
“I am proud to present the first high-level communications team in the White House that includes only women today,” Biden said. The “qualified and experienced” candidates bring different approaches and a common will to move the country forward, Biden said. Harris stated, “These communication professionals represent our promise to create a White House that reflects the best of our country.”

Biden’s current deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield will become White House communications director. This gives it a less public role, but one that is important in defining the government’s overall communications strategy. Pili Tobar, in turn, will become Bedingfield’s alternate. A Biden Campaign Team Advisor, Symone Sanders, Will Become the Vice President’s Spokesperson; Ashley Etienne is scheduled to work for Harris as the director of communications.
Biden was declared the winner by the US media after the November 3 election. She is scheduled to be sworn in as the new president on January 20, with Harris as the first female vice president. Biden has already held various positions in the White House and nominated various members of the cabinet.
Meanwhile, current President Donald Trump (74) continues to refuse to acknowledge Biden’s victory. He has been talking about “massive electoral fraud” for weeks, but has not produced any reliable evidence. The US courts have already thrown out numerous lawsuits aimed at challenging the election results and their Republican allies.
However, after an original refusal, the Trump administration initiated the orderly and legally required handover (“transition”) a week ago. This Monday, for the first time, Biden and Harris were to receive the strictly confidential briefing of the secret services, which normally only reaches the White House. In addition, the head of the White House Crown task force, Deborah Birx, said in a television interview that she also hopes to speak with Biden on Monday.
