White House Press Secretary Karoline LeavittTwo prominent loyal defenders of President Trump have emerged as frontrunners to succeed Karoline Leavitt as the next White House Press Secretary, and TGP readers would likely be happy with either.As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump on Wednesday announced that Leavitt will be departing her role as White House Press Secretary to spend more time with her young children.She will now serve as one of Trump’s top outside advisors.Leavitt was the youngest person to hold the position of White House Press Secretary. She was just 27 years old last year when she took on the role.Leavitt also has two young children. She gave birth to her second child, a daughter, in May.Hours following Trump’s announcement, The New York Post reported that two front-runners have emerged as potential successors to Leavitt and both are staunch loyalists to the President.Trump administration sources told the Post that Trump is looking at Alina Habba, who served as a defense lawyer for Trump and as a former acting attorney for New Jersey, and Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.The Post reported:Sources within and close to the administration told The Post that early front-runners for the role are believed to include Alina Habba, the former acting US attorney for New Jersey, and Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.Habba gained fame as one of Trump’s defense lawyers, giving passionate televised appeals on his behalf to journalists before his return to power. She briefly worked in the West Wing last year as a counselor to the president before Trump appointed her the top prosecutor in New Jersey.Boyle, meanwhile, is a favorite among well-connected Trump allies who recognize the dogged Breitbart scribe’s fiery but steady presence in the conservative media ecosystem.Trump knows Boyle by name and has given him many interviews, including a recent Oval Office sitdown. His experience with investigative work targeting public figures and close coverage of the Trump movement convey working knowledge of how to manage — and mitigate — PR challenges.If one thought the White House press briefings were fiery under Leavitt, Habba and Boyle would take it up another notch. Both have firebrand personalities, particularly when it comes to the left and their corporate media allies.Other names floated by the Post for the role include former White House deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel Taylor Budowich, Katie Miller, a former aide to Elon Musk at DOGE and the wife of deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, and US chief of protocol Monica Crowley.These possibilities, however, are considered much less likely than Habba and Boyle.The post Two Fierce Trump Loyalists Have Emerged as Frontrunners to Potentially Replace Outgoing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
