As Karoline Leavitt gears up to welcome her second child, there's chatter on who will fill her role during her maternity leave...
Leavitt, 28, is due in May, and three women in her press office are seen as potential stand-ins during her absence:
Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers, and Regional Press Secretary Liz Huston.
Kelly joined the White House in January and brings extensive political experience, having worked on several Republican campaigns. Prior to being on Leavitt's team, she worked for the Republican National Convention as a national press secretary and as communications director for the House of Representatives, according to her LinkedIn profile. Kelly also has a background in beauty pageants, including winning the 2019 Miss State Fair of Virginia title.
Rogers, who got engaged in December, also joined the White House press team at the start of Trump's second term. Like her boss, Rogers is also an alumnus of Republican National Convention, where she wrote for just under two years before joining the White House. The Clemson graduate has stood beside Leavitt in the Oval Office and proudly posts about her time at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on social media.

No... should be a serious man in a business suit.
Yeah, it’s hard to fill the big shoes of 28 year old mass communication grads that minored in poli-sci. You don’t find them at every Starbucks... oh wait, you actually do...
195,000 a year...
May whomever gets picked have a sharp wit and a sharper tongue.
Is Laz on the selection committee?
And DM could not suck more.
The idiot readers who post comments there all sound like Nazis. England and Europe have totally forgotten WW2, which they would have lost without us.
“Hitler who?”
Roger that. Trump needs to find a learning-disabled black lesbian.
Oh, that's already been tried....
Excellent idea.
bttt
“Trump needs to find a learning-disabled black lesbian.”
In addition to those stirling qualities, he should get one from a third-world shithole country, too. Like Haiti, for example. Those people are really smart. Or maybe Somalia. They are really smart, too.
Tyrus. He wanted the job for at least a week.
Katie Hopkins from across the pond.
How about Rita Panahi? She’d be great!
I knew it, DesertHomo.
Mark Davis. He starts his radio show with a prayer. Just think of him doing the same thing with a press conference. The folks at MS would blow a gasket.
Nice idea, prayer to torch LSM, then you don’t need the exorcist.
