President Trump announced on August 12 that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will depart at the end of the month to focus on family after returning from maternity leave. No successor has been named, though Trump has stated he is reviewing numerous applicants and publicly floated names including longtime aide Margo Martin and commentator Scott Jennings. With midterm elections approaching in November, the White House has discussed using rotating Cabinet officials for briefings in the interim. The timing of any formal announcement remains open, influenced by the need to maintain effective communications operations ahead of the midterms.
