Habba rejects White House press secretary front-runner chatter despite betting odds

Alina Habba, a former acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey and one of Trump’s defense lawyers, dismissed speculation that she’s the front-runner to replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary, calling the rumor “fake news” even though Kalshi bettors once gave her the best odds; Leavitt is leaving the role at the end of August, and betting odds later shifted to Scott Jennings as the favorite with Anna Kelly far behind.
