White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt grew sentimental on her final day in the role Thursday, saying it is “probably not something anyone would expect” her to say, but she will miss working with the reporters she so often sparred with over President Donald Trump’s administration.

Leavitt called the day “bittersweet” and thanked reporters for being her “colleagues” and “partners” at the White House.
