John Kirby, Pentagon Spokesman, Takes on Expanded Role at White House
Biden Announces New Position for Top National Security Spokesperson
Kirby to Serve as White House National Security Communications Advisor
WASHINGTON, June 2023 (AP) — John Kirby, the current Pentagon spokesman, is being promoted to a new position at the White House, President Joe Biden announced Friday. Kirby will serve as the White House National Security Communications Advisor, an expanded role that will give him a more visible platform for communicating the administration's national security policies.
Kirby, a retired United States Navy rear admiral, has been a key figure in the Biden administration's efforts to navigate the ongoing war in Gaza. As the public face of the White House on national security issues, he has faced criticism for his handling of the conflict.
In his new role, Kirby will be responsible for advising the President on national security communications and coordinating messaging across the administration. He will also continue to serve as the Pentagon spokesman.
