Sarah Sanders stepping down as Press Secretary
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump announced today in a tweet that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is stepping down as Press Secretary.
In private conversations in recent weeks, Sanders has floated running for governor in her home state of Arkansas, according to two people familiar with the talks. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson was re-elected just last year, so unless he steps down early — or is appointed to something — the governor’s office in Little Rock isn’t open until January 2023.
She has told colleagues and friends that she thinks running for office would be a good next move for her, instead of taking a television job upon her departure.
