Joe Biden elects all-female White House communication team

WASHINGTON DC: Creating history, US President-elect Joe Biden announced an all-female senior White House communication team. The announcement was made by the Biden-Harris department team.

Among those named was Jen Psaki, who will serve in the highly visible role of White House press secretary.

Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have sought to emphasize diversity in their appointments and nominations so far ahead of their January 20 swearing-in.

"I am proud to announce today the first senior White House communications team comprised entirely of women," Biden said in a statement.

Psaki, 41, has held a number of senior positions, including White House communications director for the Barack Obama-Biden administration. In addition to Psaki, six other appointments were announced.

The appointments do not require Senate confirmation unlike most cabinet-level positions.

"Honored to work again for @JoeBiden, a man I worked on behalf of during the Obama-Biden Admin as he helped lead economic recovery, rebuilt our relationships with partners (turns out good practice) and injected empathy and humanity into nearly every meeting I sat in," Psaki said on Twitter.
