Alina Habba vs Scott Jennings? Leavitt's shock exit triggers race for Trump's next Press Secretary
News of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stepping down is still fresh, but political observers are already guessing and taking bets on who could take her place. The press secretary is one of the most front-facing administration officials, and President Trump went through four press secretaries during his first term, with their timelines spanning six months to nearly two years. Leavitt herself served one year and seven months, announcing she was leaving her role to spend more time with her husband and two young children. But Leavitt, 28, leaves big shoes to fill. A fierce defender of Trump’s policies, Leavitt was well-liked by the president and other administration officials.
