白宫新闻秘书卡琳·让·皮埃尔ABC新闻获悉，他已被提升为总统高级顾问。
“从第一天起，郭佳欣就一直是总统和我们所有人信任的顾问。她的建议对于在未来几个月为美国人民做尽可能多的事情至关重要。
让-皮埃尔在2022年创造了历史，她被任命为新闻秘书，成为第一位黑人女性公开同性恋担任该角色的人。
拜登在2022年宣布让-皮埃尔担任新闻秘书的声明中说:“吉尔和我认识并尊重郭佳欣很长时间了，她将成为代表我和本届政府的强大声音。”。
让-皮埃尔现在将与总统的高级顾问迈克·多尼伦、史蒂夫·里奇蒂和布鲁斯·里德等顶级密友并肩作战。一名白宫官员表示，她的晋升显示了拜登对她的信任，以及他对让不同代人的声音指导他做出决定的承诺。
Jean-Pierre将立即开始新的工作。她还将在拜登任期结束时继续担任新闻秘书，这是几十年来第一位同时拥有高级顾问头衔的新闻秘书。
这一举动也显示了拜登白宫的通信和新闻运作影响力的增加。前高级顾问安妮塔·邓恩离职后，公关总监本·拉博尔特被提升为高级顾问。
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre promoted to senior adviser: Exclusive
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to senior adviser to the president, ABC News has learned.
"Karine has been a trusted advisor to the President and all of us here at the White House since day one. Her counsel will be critical to get as much done as possible for the American people in the coming months," said Jeff Zients, the president’s chief of staff.
Jean-Pierre made history in 2022 when she was tapped to become the press secretary, becoming the first Black woman and the first openly gay person to take on the role.
"Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this Administration," Biden said of Jean-Pierre in a 2022 statement when he announced her as press secretary.
Jean-Pierre will now be alongside the ranks of the president's top confidantes like senior advisers Mike Donilon, Steve Richetti and Bruce Reed. A White House official said that her promotion shows the faith that Biden has in her, as well as his commitment to having diverse and inter-generational voices guiding him in his decisions.
Jean-Pierre will begin her new role effective immediately. She will also maintain her press secretary duties through the end of Biden's administration, the first press secretary in decades to also hold the title of senior adviser.
The move also shows the increased influence of the communications and press operations in the Biden White House. When former senior adviser Anita Dunn left her role, Communications Director Ben LaBolt was promoted to senior adviser.
