After Biden’s announcement, Jean-Pierre posted on X, “President Biden will go down in history as one of our greatest Presidents. Accomplishing more in 4 years than many accomplished in 8 years. He is also an honorable man. A decent man. And a person who has always put the country first.”
“Working for him has been one of the highest honors of my life and I look forward to working with him to continue to deliver results for the American people through the end of this term,” she added.
