Karine Jean-Pierre saw the difficulties Donald Trump’s predecessors faced. She knows the challenges of what comes next
Karine Jean-Pierre, who worked in both the Obama and Biden administrations, argues the midterm results are a serious warning for Trump.

Jean-Pierre says voters signalled concerns about corruption and accountability, which will make it harder for Trump to govern in his remaining term.
