Jay Carney, the spokesman for Vice President Joe Biden, will replace Robert Gibbs as President Obama’s press secretary, the White House announced Thursday.
A former journalist who spent 20 years at Time magazine, Carney, 45, joined the Obama administration two years ago as communications director for the vice president. His elevation is part of a White House overhaul that has seen several other West Wing staffers promoted, as well as the departures of key aides David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel.
