Karoline Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in U.S. history, will temporarily step back in the coming months as she prepares for the birth of her second child, a daughter due in May.
Her anticipated leave has sparked discussion in Washington about who might cover briefing duties. Leading internal candidates include Anna Kelly, who also serves as a special assistant to Donald Trump, Taylor Rogers, and Liz Huston.
Each brings experience within the administration, along with backgrounds in political communications and public engagement, making them strong contenders to temporarily assume Leavitt’s responsibilities.
