Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wrote in her new book that she didn't think former Vice President Kamala Harris would win the election.
"When I woke up, it was over. Harris had lost. I received calls from friends who were distraught or numb with disbelief. But I wasn’t surprised by the outcome. The truth was, I never really believed Harris could win. I’d been in the body of a Black woman all my life. I’d stood at the podium in the White House briefing room, traveled in my chocolate skin through rural towns, and all my experiences of blistering stares and racist assumptions left me unable to see this country electing a president who looked like me," she wrote in her book, "Independent."
Jean-Pierre's new book details her decision to leave the Democratic Party, citing what she believes was a betrayal of former President Joe Biden.
The former press secretary said she felt pessimistic about Harris because of her own experiences in the role, writing that she faced misogyny, sexism and double standards.
"Harris and so many others had fought and hoped so hard. I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe. But in the end, I was proven right. The United States just wasn’t there yet. Once again, and this time not because of an electoral artifact embedded in the Constitution, we had elected Trump," Jean-Pierre wrote.

>> I’d been in the body of a Black woman all my life.
You don’t say! With what, Kinky Karinne?
What is “an electoral artifact embedded in the Constitution”? I have no idea what that phrase means.
It is never because you did a poor job. You always reach for the excuse card.
I was wondering what relevance being black has to do with Kamala, she’s Indian.
What would you call someone who demeans a candidate of color, because of her color?
Someone who is also sympathetic to her white boss, such that she quits the party due to their treatment of him?
Now what would you call this person if she herself was a person of color?
"Oreo" --- black on the outside...
I think she is referring to the Twelfth Amendment that set up the Electoral College. The left prefers popular vote where the masses in 3 or 4 huge cities chose the president.
