President Trump has not yet named a successor to Karoline Leavitt, who completed her final day as White House press secretary on August 27, 2026, after announcing her departure in mid-August to prioritize family time and transition to an outside advisory role with the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. ahead of the November midterms. The search, overseen by Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, continues amid reports of an unusually large applicant pool and a shortlist that has included figures such as Scott Jennings, Anna Kelly, and Margo Martin. In the interim, briefings have rotated among senior officials, with Vice President JD Vance leading the first session in over 40 days in early September. Traders are watching for signals on whether Trump will move quickly to fill the high-visibility role or extend the current arrangement through the midterm cycle.
