I think Leavitt is one of the best WSH press secy' that we've had. She's always at the top of her game. I'm not so sure about the rotating guests and I think Trump's time will be better spent away from the podium. He loves the spotlight; perhaps a little too much.
White House plans guest hosts for press briefings while Karoline Leavitt takes maternity leaveVP JD Vance, cabinet officials and possibly even Trump himself are among those who may take the podiumThe White House’s purported plan for a lineup of guest hosts to replace press secretary Karoline Leavitt while she is on maternity leave was revealed on Friday, according to a new report.
Politico’s White House bureau chief Dasha Burns reported on social media that Leavitt is scheduled to have her second child next week, a baby girl, and will be returning to the podium after her maternity leave, "though it’s unclear exactly how many weeks she’ll take."
"No one will be filling in for Leavitt formally during her leave — but the comms shop is planning to have some familiar faces at the podium to brief the press, including VP JD Vance, Cabinet officials or even Trump himself," Burns added.
The White House confirmed the report to Fox News Digital.
"As you can see, I'm about ready to have a baby any minute, so I will see you guys very soon," Leavitt told reporters on Friday, noting that it will be her last gaggle for a while. "I know you'll be in very good hands with my team here at the White House, and I know all of you have the president's phone number personally, so I have no doubt that you will have a shortage of statements and news from this building while I am gone."
The White House has been experiencing something of a baby boom in recent months.
At least four women with close ties to the White House are pregnant, including Leavitt, second lady Usha Vance, and Katie Miller, who is married to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. .............
