News of the United States - NOTUS • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump has expressed a preference for a male press secretary to replace Karoline Leavitt, aiming to avoid comparisons with his previous female press secretaries.
- Scott Jennings, a conservative media pundit, and Ari Fleischer, former press secretary under George W. Bush, are among the men being considered for the role.
- Leavitt plans to leave the White House at the end of August to spend more time with her family but will remain as an outside senior adviser.
- Trump is in no hurry to fill the position and may continue with a briefing style used during Leavitt’s maternity leave, where Vice President JD Vance and Cabinet members conducted press briefings.
- There is speculation that Natalie Harp, a close aide and former OANN contributor, could be promoted to press secretary due to growing media attention.
