Alina Habba Shuts Down Speculation She Could Replace Karoline Leavitt as White House Press Secretary
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last week she will leave her position at the end of August to spend time with her two young children, prompting President Donald Trump to begin searching for a successor.
- Shifting from his historical preference for female chief spokespersons, Trump told advisers he prefers a man to replace Leavitt, seeking a battle-tested communicator to advance the administration's agenda before the November midterms.
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles met with CNN political commentator Scott Jennings in Washington, underscoring her preference for a seasoned media fighter capable of defending the administration against criticism.
- Despite interest in Jennings, Trump remains "not quite sold" on the CNN pundit, opening the door to other contenders including White House aide Natalie Harp and former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer.
- The president is in no rush to fill the vacancy, with sources suggesting the administration may adopt the rotating briefing format used during Leavitt's maternity leave, featuring Vice President JD Vance and Cabinet members.
