MOSCOW, May 6. /TASS/. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday wished luck to the incoming press secretary of the US president, Karine Jean-Pierre, who will replace Jen Psaki.

Peskov said he hadn’t previously been in contact with Jean-Pierre.

"We wish her luck, too," the spokesman said. "But that’s not our business. That’s the inner workings of the White House administration. We have inner workings of our own."

The White House earlier said Psaki will step down on May 13, and her deputy Jean-Pierre would be replacing her.

Jean-Pierre is currently principal deputy press secretary and deputy assistant to the president.

A White House statement said she was a long-time member of the Biden team. She was on the team when Biden served as vice president in the administration of Barak Obama. She held jobs at NBC and MSNBC, was regional political director for the White House Office of Political Affairs during the Obama administration, and worked in the New York City Council.

Psaki said in May 2021 that he could leave the job a year later. Before becoming Biden’s press secretary, she was a spokesperson for the White House and the State Department in the Obama administration. Psaki has made some reverberating statements regarding Russia and Ukraine.
