Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) praised the departure of former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon on Friday, crediting chief of staff John Kelly with making a “great personnel decision.”

“First Scaramucci, now Bannon. Two great personnel decisions by John Kelly,” Toomey tweeted.

Bannon left the White House on Friday in a surprising move that cemented the authority of Kelly as the key decision maker on personnel in President Trump’s White House.

"White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve's last day. We are grateful for his service and wish him the best," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

At least one GOP lawmaker had previously expressed hope that Trump would part ways with Bannon. In an interview this week, Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) said Trump should fire the strategist.

“I think it’s important for the president to fire Steve Bannon. He should go,” King told a New York ABC News affiliate.

Multiple Democrats took to Twitter to celebrate the news of Bannon’s removal, but said his ouster wasn’t enough to change Trump’s policies.

"Steve Bannon's firing is welcome news, but it doesn’t disguise where President Trump himself stands on white supremacists and the bigoted beliefs they advance," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement.

Bannon returned to Breitbart News just hours after leaving the White House on Friday, reclaiming his title of executive chairman and leading their evening editorial meeting.
