Trump Hasn't Decided on Leavitt's Replacement as White House Press Secretary, Sources Say
- President Donald Trump is seeking a new White House Press Secretary to replace Karoline Leavitt, whose tenure concludes tomorrow. When asked last Friday who he would want as her successor, Trump suggested conservative commentator Scott Jennings and communications advisor Margo Martin.
- Leavitt announced her departure two weeks ago to return to MAGA Inc. as a top adviser, stating she would remain "an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections."
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is leading the search with no clear front-runners yet. Other potential candidates include Katie Miller and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, though Jennings said "I don't know" when asked about the role earlier this month.
- Responsibilities for White House press briefings will rotate among top administration officials for the time being. This temporary arrangement maintains continuity while the administration evaluates candidates to fill the vacancy.
- Trump has not yet settled on a final choice, telling reporters last Friday he has "never had so many job applications." While former personal attorney Alina Habba publicly declined the role, the administration continues weighing its options.
