White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is planning to leave her post from within the Biden administration to join MSNBC allegedly in May.
According to Axios media reporter Sara Fischer via Twitter, the papers have not yet been signed, but the offer purportedly would make Psaki the host of a show on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, while allowing her the opportunity to appear as a voice on various cable shows. It was reported that she will not be replacing Rachel Maddow in the 9 p.m. slot.
The White House press secretary's deal is reportedly similar to that of Symone Sanders, a former senior spokesperson for Some on Twitter responded to the Axios report with questions about the ethics of Psaki negotiating a deal while still working at the White House. As Fox News contributor Byron York pointed out, "For past months, WH spokeswoman has been briefing news organizations that were vying to hire her."
Others pointed that the potential new job wouldn't be much different from Psaki's current role. Substack writer Jim Treacher joked, "Going from a Democrat-controlled White House to MSNBC is a lateral move," while RealClearInvestigations deputy editor Benjamin Weingarten asked, "Isn't she already doing that [hosting an MSNBC show]?"
