White House Press Briefing Returns | Charleston News

The White House is finally returning to press briefings after a 40-day hiatus, with no official announcement yet on who’ll take the mic. Karoline Leavitt’s tenure ended in early August, and she emphasized that President Trump himself is the ultimate spokesperson — even joking that he’s the real communications director. Trump noted he received a flood of applications for the role, crediting Leavitt for making it so desirable. Rumors swirl around potential successors like Scott Jennings, Anna Kelly, and Steven Cheung, though none have been confirmed. This isn’t the first time others have stepped in — during Leavitt’s maternity leave earlier this year, figures like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Scott Bessent filled the void.
