Karoline Leavitt Named White House Press Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has announced Karoline Leavitt as the new White House Press Secretary, a move that reflects his ongoing confrontational stance towards the media. Leavitt, who previously served as the Trump campaign's National Press Secretary, is expected to effectively communicate Trump's messages. Alongside her, Scott Jennings, a CNN commentator known for defending Trump, is reportedly vying for the press secretary position, indicating the competitive nature of the selection process. Other contenders for the role include legal spokeswoman Alina Habba and former Fox News personality Monica Crowley. Despite rumors, ex-ESPN anchor Sage Steele has confirmed she is not in the running for the position. Trump's appointments come amid scrutiny of his Cabinet picks, particularly those facing allegations of misconduct.
