Nope. She's doing a great job, as is her boss. Here's the truth, as those of us who've been paying attention already know...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jen Psaki may have more than a few months left before she calls it a day and exits the Biden administration as White House spokesperson, but that hasn't stopped the Twitterverse from speculating over, and being saddened by, the thought of her (eventual) departure. But as she has continually done since she took the post, Psaki didn't leave room for rumor and speculation to take root; instead she took the bull by the horns and told CNN's Don Lemon the reason why she had always known that her time in the White House would be limited. 

"This was something I told colleagues and friends, and in my discussions with the amazing people in the Biden orbit, was part of the discussion early on. I'm so honored to serve this president, and at this moment in history to be a small part of rebuilding trust in government," the White House spokesperson said (via Yahoo). "But I also have two little kids who are preschoolers, and I know a lot of moms who watch your show ['CNN Tonight'] who understand that. I don't want to miss a lot of moments."

Jen Psaki's reason should come as no surprise, because the writing has (literally) been on the wall if we only took the time to look. On Twitter, Psaki describes herself as "WH Press Sec. Working mom of 2 small humans. Spends most days communicating about @POTUS' agenda & rebuilding trust with the American people."

Even if she didn't have a more pressing job lined up — that of a mom — Psaki made it clear that she had always known that the role of White House press secretary had a relatively short shelf life.

"I've also had the honor of serving not just this president, but a president in the past. I think at a certain point it's time to have other people serve in these jobs and roles, and have this front seat to history. And I'm hopeful that part of what I can do in this job is help build that up and help give people opportunity, and lift up some new voices and faces," she said (via Yahoo Entertainment).  

Even if we know Psaki has a great reason for stepping aside, it doesn't stop those of us who are her fans from wishing that things don't have to be this way. As one Twitter user put it: "The crush is real. I'm not ready."

​I agree she is doing a great job particularly excelling at constantly having to walk back her bosses comments. That's happening more and more often. Not to mention before the long arm of the law latches on to Hunter Biden it's a good time to head for the exit.

Smart lady to let a new press secretary wallow in Hunter (& Joe's) mess. And did I mention that seven figure salary from MSNBC ??

So long suckers...!!!

Sad the reach that Fox News has into this country. Somehow, we'll survive even that.
 

This is becoming an ongoing trend and according to an article in Variety, one that may not always benefit the news networks that sign these people.

“I think hiring these officials is somewhat journalistically lazy and that it’s generally better to avoid putting partisans on the payroll and instead hire objective journalists,” says [Mark Feldstein, chair of the broadcast journalism department at the University of Maryland.] “But cable TV news has 24 hours to fill seven days a week, so the temptation to hire a talking head who will be ready when needed is hard to resist.”

Why White House Officials Are Descending on TV News

Hiring of ex-political hacks troubles journalists at the major networks

Jen Psaki's new show on MSNBC debuted over the weekend

It's called Inside with Jenn Psaki 

Anyone have a chance to see it? 

Wonder how long before Karine Jean-Pierre makes a guest appearance?

I  can see it now...both of them end up sobbing uncontrollably 

Can't wait 

How quickly you've forgotten Jen Psaki taking Peter Doocy (Fox White House correspondent) to the woodshed for his daily verbal thrashing.  Guaranteed, Jen was not the one left sobbing.

Republicans will avoid coming on Psaki's show like the plague because they'll be called out on their all-woke-all-the-time bullshit in a millisecond...opposite reason why Democrats are rarely invited on Fox and Newsmax programs like Kayleigh McEnany's (former press secretary for Mr. Orange)...because the Fox Max people get caught in their lies and disinfo and have to shout them out or cut them off...

Jen Psaki has a two book deal with the first book out next May 7th.

It will be about her time in the White House etc. working with both Obama and Joseph Robinette Biden & others.

Sad to report there will be no dishing of dirt - no tell all tales.

Guess she doesn't want to help re-elect Trump.

Swing and a miss

She'll follow that up with a children's book
