Race to Replace Karoline Leavitt as Press Secretary Heats Up
Scott Jennings is said to be leading the search as multiple Republicans are floated to replace Karoline Leavitt, sources told the Daily Beast.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Wednesday she will depart her position at the end of August, citing her desire to focus on her two young children after returning from maternity leave.
- Leavitt described the choice to leave as bittersweet, explaining she could not be the best mother her two young children deserve while devoting the constant time and energy required of the press secretary role.
- Potential candidates for the position include CNN contributor Scott Jennings and Breitbart Washington bureau chief Matthew Boyle, though the administration has not officially confirmed any candidates for the role.
- Sources suggest President Donald Trump does not intend to name a replacement by the end of August, instead planning to have Cabinet members conduct briefings as occurred during Leavitt's earlier leave.
- Whoever assumes the position must manage contentious press relationships, coordinate media strategy, and meet Trump's high expectations while the President continues weighing his options for the demanding role.
