President Trump has not announced a successor to Karoline Leavitt following her August 27 departure as White House press secretary. Leavitt stepped down after 20 months to focus on family, with Trump praising her performance and shifting her to an outside advisory role ahead of the November midterms. Since then, briefings have rotated among cabinet officials including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others, while Trump has described receiving an unusually high volume of applications and publicly considered names such as Scott Jennings, Anna Kelly, and Margo Martin. As of mid-September, he indicated a candidate had been identified but provided no timeline, leaving the appointment open amid ongoing media strategy needs.
