Who could replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary? - CNN

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced plans to leave the position at the end of the month to spend more time with her young family, a move disclosed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, less than three months before the midterm elections.
The departure has sparked widespread speculation in Washington over her successor, with communications director Steven Cheung praising Leavitt as "one of one" and saying nobody could replicate what she did.
Trump has not indicated who might replace her, and some sources suggested he may leave the role unfilled until after the midterms, or possibly for the remainder of his term.
One GOP operative argued the position should be filled quickly, describing the press secretary role as "another deployable asset for the midterms."
About a dozen potential candidates have surfaced, including current and former Trump staffers, figures with cable news experience, and at least one Trump family member, though the White House dismissed talk of shortlists as speculation.
Names circulating include CNN contributor Scott Jennings, a former George W. Bush White House official once backed by Donald Trump Jr. for the role, and Alina Habba, a former Trump lawyer and briefly acting US attorney for New Jersey; Jennings has deflected questions about his interest.
