Trump weighs options to replace Leavitt as White House press secretary
TL;DR
With Karoline Leavitt set to depart at month’s end ahead of the midterms, Trump is weighing potential successors for the White House press secretary role. There’s no clear heir apparent, and CNN circulated about a dozen names—Alina Habba, Anna Kelly, Tricia McLaughlin, Elizabeth Pipko, Monica Crowley, Roma Daravi, Lara Trump, and others like Scott Jennings, Jason Miller, Harrison Fields, and Sage Steele. Some pressure to name a successor quickly, while others expect a longer search or interim messaging by top officials. Leavitt will remain an outside adviser, and Trump’s choice will hinge on trust, messaging ability, and fit within his orbit.
