U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has submitted her resignation to President Trump, a day after "March for Trump" protesters invaded the U.S. Capitol building, Axios' Alayna Treene confirmed with a White House official with direct knowledge.
Why it matters: DeVos is the second Cabinet secretary to exit the administration in the wake of the deadly Capitol riot. Former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao left the administration earlier Thursday.
What she's saying: “There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation, and it is the inflection point for me,” DeVos said in her letter to the president on Thursday.
