Who can replace Karoline Leavitt?

from The Playbook Podcast · host POLITICO

Karoline Leavitt’s departure leaves a major hole in the White House communications shop — but Donald Trump appears to be in no rush to replace her. Playbook’s Megan Messerly and Will Steakin unpack why, what Leavitt’s legacy will be and how Trump’s role as his own chief messenger could shape what comes next. Then, Ali Bianco joins with a scorecard of Congress’ biggest social media stars, Abdul El-Sayed’s Blue’s Clues moment draws conservative ire, and the Max Miller controversy spills into a key New York House race. Plus, a preview of Dasha Burns’ conversation with Sen. Adam Schiff.
