White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders spoke to CBN News reporters David Brody and Jennifer Wishon in an interview Wednesday in which she said she believed God wanted Donald Trump to become president of the United States.
“I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that He wanted Donald Trump to become president,” Sanders told CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody and Senior Washington Correspondent Jennifer Wishon in her West Wing office Wednesday morning.
“That’s why he’s there and I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about,” Sanders said.”
The CBN reporters promoted the videotaped interview on Twitter.

“The goal is to be the best version of who God created us & who he called us to be… I think it’s part of the reason it gives me a sense of calm when I’m in that [press briefing] room” – @PressSec during interview in West Wing.

The CBN interview covered other areas, including the border wall-budget negotiations, Syria and the status of press briefings. Sanders also spoke about being a working mother and the support her husband gives her.
If dodging slings and arrows aren’t enough, Sanders is also a young mom, mother to three children under the age of seven. Long hours at the White House bring the inevitable question: Does she struggle with mommy guilt?
“Oh, every single day,” Sanders admitted. “I mean, one of the hardest things I do every day is just go to work. My kids are clinging to me crying, ‘why are you leaving, why are you going to work?’ and to explain to a 6, 5, and 3-year-old what you do and why it’s important is nearly impossible.
“I have the most amazing husband in the world. One because he puts up with me and I know I can be a handful,” she continued. “But he also keeps our whole life afloat and without him, and without that support system it would be totally impossible to do this job, but at the same time I think it’s so important for our kids to see us engage on things that matter.”
