Trump announced on August 12 that Karoline Leavitt will step down as White House press secretary at the end of August 2026 to focus on family, prompting internal discussions over a successor. A senior administration official indicated Trump plans a replacement but sees no urgency, with a possible delay until after the November 2026 midterm elections. Contenders include communications director Stephen Cheung, principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, and other figures such as Alina Habba. The timeline hinges on Trump's preference for a deliberate selection process amid the administration's communications priorities and the electoral calendar.
