Fighting off tears after rattling off her accomplishments and thanking the people of the UK for the 'honor of a lifetime', Theresa May said Friday that she will resign on Friday, June 7 - two weeks from now - after a rebellion within the conservative party finally forced her to step down. May, the second - but not the last - female prime minister in the UK, will abandon her supremely unpopular withdrawal agreement instead of trying to force it through the Commons for the fourth time. Though May will stay on as caretaker until a new leader can be chosen, the race to succeed May begins now...odds are that a 'Brexiteer' will fill the role. Between now and May's resignation, May still has work to do: President Trump will travel to the UK for a state visit, while Europe will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The pound's reaction was relatively muted, as May's decision to step down had been telegraphed well in advance.
