"Meet The New Voice Of The White House "

Meet The New Voice Of The White House

"SNIP.....................

Josh Earnest will become the next White House press secretary, President Barack Obama announced on Friday.

Earnest's promotion couldn't come at a more important time for the White House. In addition to the burgeoning scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Earnest will be in charge of pushing the White House and broader Democratic agenda leading up to the midterm elections later this year. Democrats are trying to avoid losing control of the Senate, which would put a major dent on Obama's plans for his final two years in office.

Earnest currently serves as the administration's deputy press secretary and special assistant to the president. When Carney takes a day off or is attending to other obligations, Earnest is usually the one to step in.

After growing up in Kansas City and graduating from Rice University in 1997, Earnest immediately went to work in politics. He worked on the 1997 mayoral campaign of Lee Brown, the first African-American mayor of Houston.

He proceeded to work on former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's first campaign, according to a McClatchy profile published during the 2012 campaign. He then served as a congressional aide to Rep. Marion Berry, a former congressman from Arkansas.
