President Donald Trump has not yet named a successor to Karoline Leavitt, who completed her tenure as White House press secretary on August 27, 2026, and transitioned to an outside advisory role with the MAGA Inc. super PAC. The vacancy follows her mid-August announcement that she would step down to focus on her young family after returning from maternity leave. As of early September, administration officials have indicated no immediate timeline or frontrunner, with responsibilities rotating among senior staff and Vice President JD Vance conducting the first briefing in over 40 days. Potential candidates discussed include conservative commentator Scott Jennings, principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, and communications director Steven Cheung. The search occurs amid preparations for the November 2026 midterms, with Trump emphasizing the need for an aggressive defender of administration priorities in the briefing room.
