Karoline Leavitt, 28, is departing as White House Press Secretary at the end of the month, and speculation over her replacement includes CNN commentator Scott Jennings, disbarred former U.S. attorney Alina Habba, deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, communications staffers Steven Cheung, Taylor Budowich and Matthew Boyle, plus longshots Kari Lake and Katie Miller. The Daily Beast reportedly names Kennedy Center PR vice president Roma Daravi as frontrunner.

The column itself is an extended endorsement of Jennings, built on his television sparring with liberal panelists, though Jennings himself declined to confirm interest, instead praising Leavitt as possibly the best press secretary in three decades.

The piece offers no reporting beyond aggregating other outlets' name-lists and the columnist's own preference.

A columnist publicly campaigning for his favorite cable pundit to get a government podium, using superlatives borrowed wholesale from the outgoing press secretary's own admirer, is less a scoop than a job application forwarded on someone else's letterhead. The actual list of contenders, however, reads like a fairly accurate map of where conservative media and MAGA-world overlap.
