New Actor: California Native Emerges As Replacement Contender
A California-born former governor’s office staffer emerged as a leading contender to replace outgoing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt as the search got underway.
The contender’s résumé includes communications work in a governor’s office, bringing state-level executive experience to the mix for the West Wing role.
Leavitt confirmed she is departing today, following President Trump’s announcement a day earlier that she would leave the White House.
The search for her successor formally began today, with the California native among the names under consideration.
No decision has been announced, and the White House has not released a shortlist or a timeline for naming Leavitt’s replacement.
