Queens Village native Karine Jean-Pierre will become the first Black White House press secretary when she replaces the departing Jen Psaki next week.

President Joe Biden announced his historic decision Thursday that elevates Jean-Pierre to the top position on Friday, May 13 when Psaki steps down for a new position in the private sector.
