Sarah Sanders was the third woman to be a White House Press Secretary and took the position after Sean Spicer resigned in July of 2017.
Sanders initially covered for Spicer while he served on Naval Reserve duty then went on to fill the position as White House Press Secretary full time.
Sarah Sanders responded to President Trump Thursday afternoon and said she’s grateful for the opportunity to serve.
“The most important job I’ll ever have is being a mom to my kids and it’s time for us to go home. Thank you Mr. President!” Sarah Sanders said.
I am blessed and forever grateful to @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to serve and proud of everything he’s accomplished. I love the President and my job. The most important job I’ll ever have is being a mom to my kids and it’s time for us to go home. Thank you Mr. President! https://t.co/wHNnq06AMg
