Psaki will be stepping down on May 13 and it is reported she will be joining left-wing television network MSNBC, though she never confirmed the new gig when asked about it in the past. 

'I'm going to cry', an emotional Psaki said at the start of her briefing on Thursday as she brought her successor up to the podium and hugged her. 

'I just want to take the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate my friend, my colleague, my partner in truth Karine Jean-Pierre, the next White House Press Secretary,' Psaki said.

Fox News' Peter Doocy then said he will miss his favorite sparring partner Psaki in the briefing room. She dryly responded by saying: 'Will you?'

She refused to comment on her future amid speculation she will likely head to MSNBC, and said she is only looking forward to 'sleeping' and 'reading books'. She then asked reporters for Netflix suggestions. 

Jean-Pierre, 44, will be the first black female White House press secretary and first openly LGBTQ+ person in the role, Psaki said in a tweet celebrating her successor. 

'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.

Biden said he and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden 'have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this Administration.'
