The deputy press secretary, Josh Earnest, will be promoted to the new White House spokesman. He has been with Obama’s administration since 2008. After President Obama made the announcement today, Carney answered a few questions from the press. Here is what he had to say about his time at the White House and his future plans:

“It’s been an amazing experience. Just so fulfilling. I haven’t made any decisions yet. I’m excited by some of the possibilities. I’m sure you guys will be among the first to know after I’ve decided what to do.”

I wonder what prompted the resignation? Any thoughts?
