Jennings shrugs off reports about interest in press secretary job: ‘I don’t know what’s gonna happen’
- President Donald Trump is searching for a successor to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who announced Wednesday she will depart at the end of August after serving approximately 19 months.
- Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings has emerged as a leading candidate, alongside Alina Habba, Anna Kelly, and Katie Miller, as Trump reportedly seeks someone with a strong existing relationship to communicate policy positions.
- Reports suggest Trump may prioritize a male successor, shifting from his previous preference for female press secretaries, though critics argue Jennings' combative style makes him poorly suited for the role.
- Leavitt will not fully exit the administration, as Trump confirmed she will transition into a key outside advisor position focusing on party messaging and grassroots engagement for the midterm elections.
- Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer noted that the president's relationship with the new hire will be critical, emphasizing the ideal candidate will likely be someone already operating within Trump's inner orbit.
