Sally Buzbee, the executive editor of The Washington Post, is stepping down from her role after leading the newspaper for three tumultuous years, the newspaper announced late Sunday.

Buzbee will be immediately replaced by Matt Murray, former editor in chief of The Wall Street Journal, until the November election.
