Jen Psaki is a fantastic Press Secretary, and I don't say that by comparing her to her predecessors

That part is irrelevant to me, but the comparisons only amplify what I'm seeing and hearing.

In this clip, she responds to a reporter's observation...after one week...that Joe Biden ran on uniting the country but so far seems to be performing "unilaterally."

Psaki: "Part of unifying the country is addressing the problems that the American people are facing."

in the second part. He’s issuing these EOs to reverse Trump EO’s. Aside from Trump doing one a day..... Trump did EO’s even though those were bad when Obama did them. Trump and Mitch were either/and/or lazy or inept in not getting legislation passed. The Senate has done almost nothing except approve judges under Mitch.

They really expect him to ignore the problems or only go forward with Republican fixes to them.

She is going to be the person who communicates and interfaces with the national/world media on a daily basis. I think Biden made an incredibly great choice for this important role.

We are so used to hearing lie after lie and being constantly gaslit by White House press secretaries that having someone like her is such a breath of fresh air! I look forward to seeing more of her. Excellent choice on Biden's part.

Obviously an excellent pick!

Lord knows, her job is going to get harder.
