Multiple outlets reported Friday that White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki will exit the White House this Spring for a new position at MSNBC News.
“According to Axios media reporter Sara Fischer via Twitter, the papers have not yet been signed, but the offer purportedly would make Psaki the host of a show on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform, while allowing her the opportunity to appear as a voice on various cable shows. It was reported that she will not be replacing Rachel Maddow in the 9 p.m. slot,” reports Fox News.

What most WH press secretaries really want is to host their own show on cable news. It’s like one long audition. When you watch their behavior thru those eyes, it makes more sense. https://t.co/3vOvVSnrWs

“Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich separately confirmed Psaki will leave the White House for MSNBC and reported the network beat out CNN in a bidding war, although the deal hasn’t been signed yet,” adds Fox.
Another White House advisor -Symone Sanders- signed a deal with MSNBC back in January.
