| Description | President Barack Obama has settled on Jay Carney, communications director for Vice President Joe Biden and former Washington bureau chief for TIME magazine, to replace Robert Gibbs as White House press secretary, presidential advisers said.
Carney met with Obama recently for what one colleague called an “audition,” an official said. Colleagues praised Carney’s serious demeanor and command of international issues.
Gibbs has said he plans to leave the White House in mid-February to give paid speeches and serve as a consultant, including to Obama’s reelection campaign.
Carney carries insider credibility as a former TIME Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent, and heartland celebrity from his pundit days, colleagues said. |
