Psaki made the prediction while speaking with former Obama official David Axelrod for his podcast "The Axe Files."

"I mean, when I talked to the inner circle of the Biden orbit about this, we talked about coming in and doing this job for a year, which was quite appealing to me for many reasons," Psaki went on. "One, this is, what a moment in history. Right. To be a part of. It's always true in the White House.

Psaki mentioned her young children as a cause for leaving.

Psaki never envisioned herself returning to the White House after her stint in the Obama administration, according to the podcast.
Meanwhile, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany offered her response to remarks made by her successor, current White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, about checking President Biden from taking unprepared questions from reporters.
"That is not something we recommend," Psaki said in the podcast published Thursday. "In fact, a lot of times, we say, ‘Don’t take questions,' you know? But he's going to do what he's going to do."
