Who could potentially replace White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt?
The job requires managing a complex relationship with the media - as well Trump's high expectations.
The departure of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has sparked speculation about who might succeed her in President Donald Trump's administration. While the White House has not announced a replacement yet, several candidates have been mentioned as potential contenders for the role. Among the names frequently mentioned are Alina Habba, a former personal lawyer for Trump who now serves as a federal prosecutor, Katie Miller, a conservative podcaster and former communications director for former Vice President Mike Pence, Anna Kelly, the current deputy press secretary, Sage Steele, a conservative media figure and former television anchor, Steven Cheung, the current communications director, and Scott Jennings, a political commentator and senior contributor at CNN.
