Jennings Emerges as Early Front-Runner to Replace Leavitt at the White House

Scott Jennings has emerged as an early frontrunner to replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary, with Susie Wiles reportedly backing him and several other contenders under consideration. The process is far from settled as the White House weighs options ahead of midterms; Jennings—a CNN contributor and longtime Mitch McConnell adviser—would be evaluated for both his public persona and behind-the-scenes work, but officials say the decision is not imminent and Trump is taking time to decide.
