Top White House aides attempted to remove press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre from her position due to poor job performance last fall, according to sources. The plan, led by White House communications chief Anita Dunn, was unsuccessful as Jean-Pierre refused to step down despite being presented with other job opportunities. The White House denied the reports, but sources claim that tensions between Jean-Pierre and National Security Council’s John Kirby have caused turmoil. Despite the challenges, both are required to work together because President Joe Biden prefers it. Overall, the situation highlights the internal struggles within the White House that could impact the president’s campaign.
