Jen Psaki Planning to Leave White House for MSNBC
April 1, 2022 at 10:07 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 25 Comments

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is in exclusive talks with MSNBC to join the network after she leaves the White House around May, Axios reports.

Puck reports that Psaki also had conversations with CNN and that other networks had expressed interest in signing her.

1. Sorry To Hear That

We need her at WH

[musclecar6]

5. Yes

That was my first reaction too. Then I started thinking as great as she's been at the White House think how she could handle all the idiotic blasts from the right wing fools if she was on MSNBC or CNN. She has set the bench mark for the best ever person in that job and whoever takes over will have big shoes to fill. That said, the worst spokes person for us, is a thousand times better than those clowns shilling for the Orange evil jackass.

28. There was talk of her leaving awhile back

so I don't think this is anything new, but I would love to see her go to MSNBC once she is done working at the White House. I feel sorry for anyone who takes her place though. She will be a hard act to follow. Best White House press secretary that I can recall.

[Texin]

45. Yes, she had said back around January that she was leaving after Biden's first term.

Still, it's a huge loss for the WH at this point. They're going to have outdo themselves to get a replacement as professional, polished and straight shooting as Psaki.

[PatSeg]

64. Well if nothing else,

she has set a very high standard for others to hopefully live up to.

[Tacan]

48. I would love to see her replace Chuck Todd.

[PatSeg]

65. Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Just imagine the tough questions she would ask people.

[Rhiannon12866]

66. I'd love to see anyone replace Chuck Todd

[walkingman]

2. Maybe the best ever - looking forward to seeing her on MSNBC

[ShazzieB]

42. Me, too!

I am excited about this and can't wait to see her on MSNBC. But it looks like you and I may be in the minority!

[UTUSN]

3. NOoooo! - she's totally needed where she is and later as a candidate.

[Budi]

4. MSNBC gets Jen Psaki while CBS gets Mulvaney.

I can't wait to watch Psaki's guest line-up of actual intellectuals. They'll have to bring their A-game to be seated across from her & on camera.

[tishaLA]

18. Mulvaney is a CBS, not CNN, hire nt

[Budi]

62. Thanks...yes CBS

[oregonjen]

6. If she wanted to leave the WH, I'm glad she's going to MSNBC

With the absence of Rachel, she will make a wonderful, sharp addition. Looking forward to seeing her on MSNBC.

[True Blue American]

58. Even Stephen Colbert

Erupted at that. MSBC better do something. 4 hours of Joe and Mika? They can not even fill 3. The last hour is a rerun.

Rachel is coming back, though.

[Baitball Blogger]

7. I hope she tells CNN that she rejected them as an option because they

hired Mulvaney.

[Raine]

17. It was CBS that hired Mulvaney. nt

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Oh. I never watch that channel.

Thanks for the info.

[grumpyduck]

8. A lot more money

and she won't have to deal with that moron from Fox anymore.

[L. Coyote]

43. She may miss skewering Dopey Doocy on a regular basis and

will need to invite him on so she gets to ask him questions.

Purple Hayes
... Peter Doocy is a prepared, focused, deliberate, divisive, destructive, calculated, anti-American, anti-democracy, propaganda-pushing, Putin-fluffing, pomaded, pencil-necked, little Fox News neo-nazi.

[calimary]

53. "Dopey Doocy!" LOVE it!!!

Fits perfectly, AND you can say it in mixed company! “Douchey” not so much.

[L. Coyote]

61. Search it on Twitter, probably not enough time left in life to read them all.

https://twitter.com/search?q=Dopey%20Doocy

Biden said it best though. “What a stupid son of a bitch.”

[Polybius]

59. I think he has a crush on her

The tension is there (for him).

[BlueIdaho]

9. The White House's loss is MSNBC's gain.

God’s speed Jen!

[Casandia]

10. Could be an April fool's prank? And Mulvany is going to CBS not CNN nt

[krkaufman]

60. It would be a good one, too ...

... if the intent was to highlight the insanity of CBS News' hire of Mulvaney.

[Emile]

11. Joe needs her voice.

[Hoyt]

12. I think Mulvaney is a part-time "contributor" for CBS. Don't expect to see him on CNN, nor

very much on CBS.

[Walleye]

13. How about she takes Chuck Todd's place? And he gets fired altogether

[Paladin]

32. That would be glorious.

Ari Melber would be another worthy replacement target.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. Yes!!

[musclecar6]

14. Wherever

She lands, her ratings will be thru the roof. As valuable as she has been at the White House she may turn out to be even more valuable on a major network hoping to get out the vote the next go around and to keep the independents shored up which we will need coming up for the midterms.

[empedocles]

15. Wish Jen could take over for Rachel

[SoonerPride]

23. I came to post this sentiment

[lindysalsagal]

26. Exactly my immediate reaction: But it remains to be seen if she grasps

the context of historical nuance the was Rachel does.

[BeyondGeography]

16. At least she's staying in the fight

[NutmegYankee]

19. Jen Psaki said early on she was only planning to stay for part of the term.

This was expected.

[Botany]

20. This girl speaks for me

[Baitball Blogger]

22. I wonder how she felt when Trump was elected.

Beautiful video, btw.

[Botany]

24. Does this answer the question?

Can I edit your phrase? I wonder how she felt when Trump was elected.

I wonder how she felt when Trump was installed by the Russians as his campaigned helped them and
the Republican leadership was fully aware of Putin & Company's actions.

[Baitball Blogger]

25. Wow!

[Botany]

35. Say no more.

BTW I thought I would never see a President as good as or better than President Obama but
Joe Biden has done that.

[MichMan]

27. Hopefully she will spend 99% of her airtime ripping into Republicans

[jmowreader]

29. I suspect it won't be that low

[bluescribbler]

30. I wonder which time slot she'll get.

Maybe Rachel's?

[LittleGirl]

31. Dang it. Not MSNBC! Ugh

I’ll miss her.

[Escurumbele]

36. Why not MSNBC???

[LittleGirl]

63. Because I can't get it in Europe nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

41. I am curious also

I really like MSNBC

[L. Coyote]

46. She could not land in a better spot than MSNBC, and watch her ratings go

straight to number one and outpace Fox.

[Escurumbele]

34. I understand her wanting to make good money, why not? she is fabulous but...the country really needs

her.

I cannot remember a better press Secretary, besides Sean Spicer...I'm kidding about Sean Spicer, period!!!

Seriously, the country and the World need her in her current post. I am not saying Biden will not find a good replacement, but these are very big shoes to fill.

I am sad to know she is leaving in May.

[Happy Hoosier]

37. Sorry to see her leave the White House, but....

... what if she took Rachel's slot? I think she'd be fantastic.

[Deuxcents]

38. Ali Velshi deserves Rachel's spot

Jen can have Andreas or Todd’s spot. When Rachel comes back, if she comes back, she can fit in anywhere b/c she’s that popular

[dsp3000]

39. Man she is the best. The admin needs her voice

Although it will be great to see her on msnbc

[LetMyPeopleVote]

40. Press secretary Jen Psaki plans to depart White House for MSNBC in coming weeks

Psaki will be great on MSNBC

Link to tweet

White House press secretary Jen Psaki plans on departing the Biden administration in the coming weeks and heading to MSNBC, two people familiar with the matter told CNN on Friday.

Psaki has not officially signed a contract with the progressive cable news network, but the talks are in the advanced stages, the people said.
Axios, which first broke the news, reported that Psaki will host a show for NBC's streaming platform Peacock. She will also appear on MSNBC's shows.

MSNBC declined to comment.

A White House official declined to confirm Psaki's future plans. But the official said, "Jen is here and working hard every day on behalf of the President to get you the answers to the questions that you have, and that's where her focus is."

Multiple television networks expressed interest in hiring Psaki, according to one of the people who spoke to CNN.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

44. She seems like she'd be a good party chair.

I wish she'd at least help with the upcoming elections before going over to a media job.

[NightWatcher]

49. Today is April 1st. Tread lightly into the news today.

[Blue Owl]

50. She's way too smart to be treated as a M$M puppet

[ToxMarz]

51. I bet fox news and peter douchey

are paying MSNBC to take her out of the White House Press room.

[gab13by13]

52. I just heard,

Jen is taking Chuck Toad's slot, and Toad will be the new press secretary. Flipping jobs.

[Takket]

54. Best of luck to her! I hope the last thing she does is tell Doocy to go fuck himself

[True Blue American]

55. If CBS can hire

Mulvaney why not?

[SheltieLover]

56. I hope she gets Rachel's slot!

[BlackSkimmer]

57. Sorry to hear this.

President Biden will find it difficult to replace her.
