White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is going to be leaving her position at the end of the month, President Donald Trump announced on Thursday.
Trump said Sanders will return to her home state of Arkansas — and added that he hopes she decides to run for governor.
Trump did not immediately name a replacement for the role.
Sanders has served as press secretary since July of 2017, when she took over for Sean Spicer.
She was part of the 2016 Trump campaign communications team before that.
Sarah Sanders has been a gladiator for the cause against the daily attacks from the mainstream media.
Thank you @PressSec for your service to America and @realDonaldTrump!

See the president’s tweets below on this subject.
“She’s going to be going to back to Arkansas,” the president said on Thursday during a news conference, among other remarks — calling her a “special person, a very, very fine woman … She has such heart. Great, great heart,” he said.
“This has been the opportunity of a lifetime,” Sanders said on Thursday. “He [Trump] has accomplished so much in these two-and-a-half years,” she added.
Trump “has been surrounded by some of the most talented and incredible people you could ever imagine,” she said.
After 3 1/2 years, 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….
