Trump hasn't decided on Leavitt's replacement as press secretary, sources say

President Trump has not yet decided on who will replace White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, whose final day at the White House is this Friday, according to administration sources. In the meantime, the responsibility for conducting White House press briefings will be shared among top administration officials, with no single individual designated as the primary spokesperson, sources said.

Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff, has been tasked with identifying potential replacements for Leavitt but has not yet identified any frontrunners, two sources reported. Scott Jennings, a Republican commentator, was previously mentioned as a possible candidate, but it is unlikely that he will ultimately be chosen. Leavitt's entire team is expected to remain on staff and report to Communications Director Steven Cheung, while her executive assistant, Kieghan Nangle, will transition to a position as a press wrangler.

Leavitt has announced her intention to return to MAGA Inc., the super PAC supported by President Trump, and continue to serve as an influential outside advisor to the president. She has hinted at other undisclosed activities she plans to engage in. Two weeks ago, Trump announced Leavitt's departure from the White House, stating in a post on Truth Social that she would remain an influential voice within the Republican Party, working to defy history and secure a win in the midterm elections.
