Psaki Heading to Cable News?

Jen Psaki Talking to MSNBC and CNN About Her Own Cable News Show: Report

Dylan Byers, a founding partner and senior correspondent at Puck, reported on Wednesday that Psaki, who is expected to leave the White House this year, is being “feverishly courted” by both CNN and MSNBC.

Byers detailed that despite CNN’s deep internal turmoil in recent weeks, “CNN interim co-president Amy Entelis and CNN+ programming lead Rebecca Kutler were in Washington for a top-secret and mission-critical recruitment assignment.”

Additionally, “NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde and MSNBC President Rashida Jones made a similar pilgrimage to Washington to meet with the very same talent, in the hopes that she might one day join their networks in a flagship role, and perhaps even take the top spot in primetime on MSNBC.”

Democratic candidate. Can you imagine her in a debate with a trumper republican. It wouldn't be fair to the poor sap.

And I mean as a senator or higher candidate.

Alaskan republican senator...Murkowski, if she were from Alaska.

I just googled. She's from Connecticut and the two current senators are both Dems so the Senate is out. Even if she lived in Virginia or Maryland as WH press secretary, senators from those states are Dems.

It would be so nice if her official residence was in Maine and she could take on the oh so concerned Susan Collins.

They are not the same types of jobs. Similar but not the same.

One is political combat the other is infotainment.

I know it's just wishful thinking as she's from Conn. and those two senate seats are already Democratic, as are the seats from the Maryland and Virginia in close proximity to DC.

Let's all urge her to set up residence in Maine and run against the oh so Concerned One.
