  "account": "President Trump announced on Wednesday that press secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down from her position to focus on her expanding family. During his \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" monologue on Wednesday night, guest host Anthony Anderson joked that Leavitt's decision was likely due to the sheer number of diapers she would need to change. Leavitt recently gave birth to her second child in May, and her husband is 32 years older than her, making the responsibility of childcare a significant factor in her decision. Anderson then pondered who might take over Leavitt's role, noting that a successor has yet to be named by the White House. While he didn't have a definitive answer, he humorously suggested the president should look for someone who might be familiar with beauty pageants, as one potential qualification. Throughout his monologue, Anderson also made light of other topics, including Mike Lindell's failed bid to become the Republican nominee for governor in Minnesota.",
