White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt holds one of her last press gaggles as she prepares to depart the role.

"It's very bittersweet. I'll miss you guys. I know that's probably not something anyone would expect me to say, but obviously it's been great working with all of you, and I think people don't realize about this job, the briefings and what I just did on TV is 10%, 90% of it is taking all of your calls at 5 in the morning and 11 p.m. at night. And I won't really miss that, but I will miss working with you guys every day. So thanks for, for being colleagues," she said to reporters outside of The White House.
