Who Is Jen Psaki?
Jen is the host of Inside With Jen Psaki, which was given a new primetime slot by MSNBC in February 2025. Since she’s been with the news network as of 2023, Jen has voiced her opinions on the show about the current state of the government. After Donald Trump won the 2024 election, Jen described his incoming administration as intimidating.
“Trump and his team decide they don’t like something, they employ threats and pressure and intimidation to change the thing they don’t like, and it works,” Jen claimed. “And that means they’re incentivized to do it again. … It’s important to remember that what this pattern could lead to is a country where journalists don’t feel comfortable speaking truth to power, where elected officials don’t hold people accountable.”
Before joining MSNBC, Jen was a contributor on CNN. Prior to that, Jen worked under former President Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden‘s respective administrations in various roles, including being a political advisor, a White House deputy press secretary, a White House deputy communications director and a spokesperson for the United States Department of the State.
