Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday wished luck to the incoming press secretary of the White House, Karine Jean-Pierre, who will replace Jen Psaki.
"We wish her luck, too," Peskov 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 Spokesman pointed out that he hadn’t previously been in contact with Jean-Pierre.
U.S. President Joe Biden named Jean-Pierre as his second White House press secretary, replacing Jen Psaki later this month.
“Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a statement announcing the news. “Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this Administration.”
“This is a historic moment, and it’s not lost on me,” Jean-Pierre said at Thursday’s press briefing, where she appeared with Psaki, embracing and holding hands at times.
