Bye Girl! Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Is Leaving the White House This Month

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is leaving the White House.

Trump tweeted that Sarah Sanders will be returning to her home state of Arkansas. He did not name who would be replacing her.

According to CNN, Sanders has had private conversations in recent weeks in which she’s insinuated that she may be running for political office. According to two people who are familiar with the discussions, she’s considering running for governor of Arkansas. Although the current governor, Asa Hutchinson, was re-elected in 2018 and his seat will not be vacant until 2023, the language used in the president’s announcement provides room for speculation. 

Sanders worked in the communications department of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign before succeeding Sean Spicer as press secretary in 2017. She has been the subject of widespread criticism since assuming the post, marked by the frustrating relationship between her and the White House press corps, and her vague, factually incorrect information about the president and the controversies that surround him. 

Sanders has also appeared to purposefully thwart communications between the White House and the press, particularly since she’s discontinued the once-daily ritual of conducting press briefings. CNN notes that her resignation arrived on the 94th consecutive day without a White House briefing.

We wonder who Trump will get to carry out his lies now…
