From Daily Mail: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed on Friday that she and her husband are expecting a baby girl.
At 28, Leavitt has impressed political observers with her lightning-quick responses and pugnacious takedowns. A senior White House official said Friday that Leavitt will remain in her position in the White House and she also recently told Daily Mail she’s staying put for the full four years, calling the role a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But there can be little doubt that this happy news has turbo-charged suspicions that others in DC are interested in auditioning for her job. And in the Capital no one waits for vacancies to actually open up before beginning their campaign to fill them.
Before Leavitt’s pregnancy announcement, a campaign was underway among DC communicators to secure a position after her departure.
Here are some of the contenders:
- Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Tricia McLaughlin
- NewsNation host Katie Pavlich
- Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s first-term senior advisor
- Fox News host Laura Ingraham
- Chief of US Protocol Monica Crowley
- Riley Gaines, a political activist and college athlete
- Margo Martin, the president’s social media advisor
