White House Press Exit and Midterm Strategy | Wilmington News

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down at the end of August, leaving a massive void as Republicans brace for a pivotal midterm election. Senior advisor James Blair praised her as a perfect fit for Trump’s message and warned the next press secretary will face intense scrutiny. With GOP majorities in both chambers hanging by a thread — every House seat and 35 Senate seats up for grabs — Blair is rallying behind a stark contrast: mainstream Republicans vs. “extreme liberal Democrats,” accusing the opposition of wanting higher taxes, dismantling law enforcement, and granting amnesty to all undocumented immigrants — even those with criminal records. As the campaign heats up, the incoming press secretary will be central to shaping the administration’s narrative and defending its agenda during this make-or-break political season.
