Karoline Leavitt is departing the White House press secretary post at the end of August, with President Trump praising her on Truth Social and saying he understands her wish to spend more time with family.
Politico floated a list of possible successors including Anna Kelly, Alina Habba, Monica Crowley, Katie Miller and Scott Jennings, and a senior White House official told Axios flatly that 'Nobody on that list will be Press Secretary.' That leaves the field of contenders exactly as clear as it was before anyone said anything.
Whoever eventually takes the podium will join Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Sean Spicer, Kayleigh McEnany and Stephanie Grisham in the small club of Trump-era press secretaries.
