"Jean-Pierre recently released a book in which she took swipes at the party for betray[ing] former President Joe Biden by forcing him out of the 2024 presidential race. Being independent will allow me to speak more freely, to stay true to my core beliefs, Jean-Pierre wrote."
"I disagree with the reasoning that she has has put forward for leaving the party because to me, parties are not about one person they are about values, Bates said. They are about what policies we stand for. To me, I'm a Democrat because I believe everybody does better when everybody has a fair shot to realize their potential through hard work."
"And I was there when the debate happened and when we were dealing with a lot of friendly fire. It's always the most painful when it's your friends. I was angry at that time; I know how she feels when she's talking about that. But I also think it's very important to remember that smart people who are working in good faith are going to have different takes on what are very complicated situations in which people are doing their best,"
Karine Jean-Pierre left the Democratic Party after finishing at the White House, saying the country faces dangers that require freeing itself from boxes and thinking creatively. She said independence will allow her to speak more freely and remain true to core beliefs and criticized the party for betraying former President Joe Biden by forcing him out of the 2024 race. Andrew Bates, a former Biden spokesperson and former colleague, said he is proud to have worked with her but disagrees with her reasoning. Bates said parties are about values and policies, not one person, and defended Democratic commitments to giving people a fair shot.
