Confirming information that has been circulating for several weeks in Washington, MSNBC clarified that the former "Press Secretary" would host a new program on its streaming platform from the beginning of 2023.
Jen Psaki, 43, will also be regularly on the air on the group's channels, MSNBC and NBC, as part of the coverage of the legislative elections next fall, and the presidential election of 2024, according to the press release.
“She is a familiar face and a figure of authority and confidence for MSNBC viewers,” said group president Rashida Jones, who also praises the “incisive humor” of her new recruit.
Jen Psaki, who had previously held several communication roles in the Obama administration and made a stint at CNN before joining Joe Biden's White House, said she was "delighted to join the incredible team at MSNBC", in the same press release. .
Jen Psaki, who gave up her place as spokesperson to Karine Jean-Pierre, was hailed on her departure by an almost unanimous press for her courtesy, her mastery of subjects and her professionalism.
Such media reconversions by figures in the American administration are frequent.
The conservative channel Fox News welcomes, for example, former spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany, while MSNBC had already recruited the former spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, Symone Sanders.
