特朗普政府时期白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利夫特即将离职，独立记者称需“接下艰巨重任”
前特朗普竞选团队副通讯主管卡罗琳·桑切斯与独立记者林赛·基思在《福克斯新闻@深夜》节目中讨论了卡罗琳·利夫特辞去白宫新闻秘书一职的事宜。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的首席发言人即将离任，华盛顿各界纷纷猜测谁将接过利夫特的职位，站上新闻简报室的讲台。
这位28岁的白宫新闻秘书在休完产假后，于周三公布了一则重磅消息：她将在8月底结束任期，以便有更多时间陪伴年幼的两个孩子。
如今距离8月底仅剩两周时间，寻找下一任新闻秘书的竞赛已经拉开帷幕——一些人预测，简报室可能会出现多位特朗普政府官员轮流为白宫记者团举行简报的情况，而非像今夏利夫特休产假期间那样，等待一名永久接任者。

利夫特休假期间，国务卿马可·鲁比奥率先举行了首场新闻发布会，随后是副总统J·D·万斯、财政部长斯科特·贝森特以及医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）管理员穆罕默德·奥兹博士。
“下一任新闻秘书无疑会是与特朗普总统关系密切的人，”前特朗普政府新闻秘书肖恩·斯派塞告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“他重视并理解这个职位在传达其政策、人事和关键议题立场方面的重要性，因此我无法想象会从他的圈子之外选人，”斯派塞补充道。
曾以短暂任期闻名的斯派塞，此次再次被传考虑接任该职位后又撤回了参选意向。
阿丽娜·哈巴目前担任美国检察官总检察长高级顾问，在特朗普连任后曾被视为热门人选，如今再次被传是该职位的有力竞争者。

当时哈巴曾表示，她对被考虑担任该职位感到“受宠若惊”，但认为自己“在其他岗位上能发挥更大作用”。
随后她担任了三个月的总统顾问，之后离开华盛顿特区，出任新泽西州 interim 总检察长一职，该职位引发争议且动荡不断。在她的任命被认定违宪后，她辞职并转而担任美国检察官总检察长高级顾问。
哈巴曾是特朗普的私人律师，也是2024年大选期间的高调 surrogates，最初在Kalshi预测平台上是接替新闻秘书职位的热门人选，但如今排名已落后于保守派政治评论员斯科特·詹宁斯和利夫特的副手安娜·凯利，位列第三。
特朗普的首席副新闻秘书一直以对外发声的角色示人。凯利在利夫特休产假期间曾代替她接受媒体采访，但尚未以新闻秘书身份站上简报讲台。
詹宁斯是美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的特约撰稿人，也曾是乔治·W·布什总统的前助手。2024年特朗普重新入主白宫时，他就曾被考虑担任新闻秘书一职，最终特朗普选择了利夫特。特朗普曾称赞詹宁斯的新书，并称他是一个“懂行的爱国者”。
特朗普在华盛顿的治安强化行动满一周年，逮捕嫌疑人数量惊人
特朗普的高级顾问斯蒂芬·米勒及其妻子凯蒂·米勒在社交媒体上被传为潜在接任者。
周三有人询问斯蒂芬对其妻子——前副总统迈克·彭斯的新闻秘书兼通讯主管——接任利夫特职位的看法。他没有直接回应，只是朝提问者方向笑了笑。
白宫通讯总监斯蒂芬·张是特朗普最坚定的捍卫者之一，影响力巨大，但大多在幕后运作。

其他被传为潜在候选人的包括布莱特巴特新闻网华盛顿分社社长马修·博伊尔以及前白宫副幕僚长泰勒·布多维奇。

利夫特是特朗普任期内任职时间第二长的新闻秘书，在职19个月。仅次于第一任期的新闻秘书、现任阿肯色州州长莎拉·赫卡比·桑德斯的23个月任期。
赫卡比离职后，斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆接任该职位，任职9个月，但因期间从未举行过一场新闻简报会而闻名。她最终被凯莉·麦克纳尼取代，后者一直任职到特朗普第一任期结束。

Scramble for Karoline Leavitt’s replacement ensues with just weeks until Trump’s spokesperson exits
August 13, 2026 2:41pm EDT / Fox News
Alina Habba, Stephen Miller, Katie Miller, Scott Jennings and Anna Kelly are among the names being floated for the role

Trump White House has ‘huge shoes to fill’ as Karoline Leavitt exits, independent journalist says
Caroline Sunshine, a former Trump campaign deputy communications director, and independent journalist Lyndsay Keith discuss Karoline Leavitt’s departure as White House press secretary on ‘Fox News @ Night.’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
The impending departure of President Donald Trump’s top spokeswoman has speculation swirling in Washington, D.C., on who will be selected to replace Karoline Leavitt behind the press briefing room podium.
The 28-year-old White House press secretary, fresh off maternity leave, dropped a bombshell announcement on Wednesday that she will end her tenure at the end of August to spend more time with her two young children.
Now, with just two weeks left in the month, the race is on to find the next press secretary — and some predict the briefing room will see a rotating line of Trump administration officials briefing the White House press corps rather than a permanent replacement, like what happened during Leavitt’s maternity leave earlier this summer.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio held the first news conference while Leavitt was on leave, followed by Vice President JD Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz.
“The next press secretary will undoubtedly be someone who has a strong existing relationship with President Trump,” former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer told Fox News Digital.
“He values and understands the importance of this role in communicating his positions on policy, personnel and key issues, so I can’t imagine it not being someone currently in his orbit,” Spicer added.
Spicer, known for his short tenure as White House press secretary, withdrew his name for consideration a second time around.
Alina Habba, who serves as senior advisor to the attorney general for U.S. Attorneys, was viewed as a frontrunner after Trump won re-election and is once again being floated for the role.

At the time, Habba said she was “flattered” by the consideration but believed she would “be better served in other capacities.”
She then served three months as counselor to the president before leaving Washington, D.C., for a controversial and turbulent position as interim attorney for the District of New Jersey. After her appointment was deemed unconstitutional, she resigned and was made senior advisor to the attorney general for United States Attorneys.
Habba, who was Trump’s personal attorney and a high-profile surrogate on the 2024 campaign trail, was the early favorite on Kalshi to replace the press secretary but now ranks third behind conservative political commentator Scott Jennings and Leavitt’s deputy, Anna Kelly.
Trump’s principal deputy press secretary has been seen in an outward facing role. Kelly filled in for Leavitt in media hits while Leavitt was on maternity leave but has yet to take the podium for a briefing.
Jennings, a CNN contributor and former aide to President George W. Bush, was also reportedly considered for the press secretary role when Trump retook office in 2024 before he selected Leavitt. Trump has touted Jennings’ recent book and has referred to him as a “patriot” who “gets it.”

Trump’s senior advisor, Stephen Miller, and his wife, Katie Miller, have been floated on social media as potential replacements.
Stephen was asked Wednesday for his thoughts on his wife, former Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary and communications director, filling Leavitt’s role. In lieu of commenting, he shot a smile in the direction of the questioner.

Other names floated as potential contenders include Breitbart’s Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle and former White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich.

Leavitt is Trump’s second-longest-serving press secretary with 19 months in the role. She comes in second to first-term press secretary and now Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ 23-month tenure.
After Huckabee’s departure, Stephanie Grisham stepped into the role for nine months but was famous for not holding a single press briefing during that time. She was eventually replaced with Kayleigh McEnany, who served through the end of Trump’s first term.
