Inside the Biden White House | Karine Jean-Pierre Joins Susan Demas for a SPECIAL EDITION of First Draft

She rejects claims that Joe Biden was mentally unfit and says the narrative missed the real story.

Karine Jean-Pierre drops one hard line that shifts the frame — “we have a broken system” — and from there the real conversation begins: not about party identity, but about whether institutions built for a calmer era can withstand a government now openly hostile to accountability. The pressure point she’s naming isn’t procedural; it’s moral exhaustion, the way voters feel squeezed between soaring costs and collapsing safeguards while political leaders confuse caution with strategy. The destabilization of health care, the erosion of press freedom, and the normalization of state power aimed at dissent all reveal a government moving faster than the parties that claim to oppose it. This moment demands a politics that leaves the Beltway behind and meets people where trust has already frayed — in communities, in daily costs, in the places where democracy is experienced as material reality, not rhetoric.

Tune in for the full conversation with Karine Jean-Pierre.
