Jen Psaki To Leave White House, Join MSNBC: Report

Jen Psaki may be circling back to liberal cable news.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki will leave her role in the Biden administration to join MSNBC later this spring, according to a report at Axios.

“Psaki has been in close consultation with the White House counsel’s office about her departure, according to two sources familiar with the plans,” reports the news outlet, which first broke the news Friday morning. “She’s also told some senior officials at the White House about her departure and her plans to join MSNBC, according to two sources.”

Psaki has not yet confirmed whether she will be joining MSNBC.

The move comes as another setback to CNN, where Psaki worked as a political commentator from 2017 until after the 2020 election. Both MSNBC and CNN had been courting the 43-year-old spin artist, according to a story published last month in Puck.news. The article mentioned Psaki may help MSNBC avoid the “near-existential crisis” created by the departure of its top-rated host, Rachel Maddow, who announced she would be throttling down her involvement with the network and producing occasional documentaries.
