UPDATE (12:21 p.m.): More details are beginning to emerge about the lead-up Spicer's sudden resignation. Per NBC's Katy Tur, on Thursday night Spicer was telling people that he would resign if Scaramucci was hired in the communications role. Further, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus is also reportedly very opposed to Scaramucci. 

Spicer's once-prominent public role at the White House had effectively diminished to next to nothing in the past few weeks. The majority of the press briefings are now off-camera, and Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has been running the briefings, not Spicer.  

UPDATE: The Associated Press is also reporting that Spicer has resigned over Scaramucci's appointment.
