Washington (CNN) Sarah Sanders will leave her job as White House press secretary at the end of June, President Donald Trump announced via Twitter on Thursday afternoon. "She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job," said Trump about SandersThat's debatable. What's less up for argument is that Sanders fundamentally changed the job of White House press secretary during her 23 months in the role. Sanders replaced Sean Spicer in the job way back in July 2017. What Sanders realized from the very start is that balancing between Trump and the media (and, by extension, the broader American public) wouldn't work.
