Sanders Departing as White House Press Secretary

Steve Herman

   White House press secretary Sarah Sanders will be departing her post
   within weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday.
   "Our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House
   at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas,"
   Trump said on his personal Twitter account.

     ....She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has
     done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of
     Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well
     done!
     -- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) [1]June 13, 2019

   Sanders' father, Mike Huckabee, was Arkansas' governor for 11 years.

   The next gubernatorial election in that state is in 2022.

   Minutes later in the White House East Room, at an event to encourage
   hiring of former prisoners, Trump called Sanders to the lectern,
   praising her as a "warrior."

   "We've been through a lot together and she's tough, but she's good,"
   the president said, reiterating he hoped she would run for governor in
   her home state.
