此前被视为接替卡罗琳·利夫特出任白宫新闻秘书的热门人选之一的阿丽娜·哈巴周三公开表示，她并未参选该职位。
这位刚休完产假的28岁白宫新闻秘书本月早些时候宣布，她将于8月底结束在新闻发布台的任期，以便抽出更多时间陪伴两名年幼的子女。
随着外界持续猜测唐纳德·特朗普总统将提名谁接替利夫特，预测市场平台卡尔希的投注者开始将阿丽娜·哈巴列为该职位的热门人选。

现任美国司法部高级顾问、负责联邦检察官事务的哈巴，曾在特朗普连任后被传为该职位候选人。
卡尔希的投注者当时曾认为哈巴有35%的概率被任命为利夫特的继任者，随后她公开否认了相关猜测。
不过，哈巴再次浇灭了这一传闻。
“卡尔希的赔率让我受宠若惊，但我并未参选任何职位，”哈巴在X平台上发帖称。
“不过，如果我真的要获得新职位，我希望这些匿名消息源能先提前告诉我，”她继续说道。“假新闻仍是不败的冠军……嗯……直到我找上门去讨个说法。”

2024年特朗普胜选后，有关哈巴可能出任新闻秘书的猜测浮出水面，当时她表示对这种考虑“受宠若惊”，但认为自己“在其他岗位上能发挥更大作用”。
哈巴随后担任了两个多月的总统顾问，之后被任命为新泽西州临时联邦检察官。在联邦上诉法院维持了一项裁定，认定她随后担任代理联邦检察官的行为违法后，她辞去了该职务，随后被任命为美国司法部高级顾问，负责联邦检察官事务。
哈巴此前还曾担任特朗普的私人律师，并在其2024年总统竞选期间担任备受瞩目的 surrogates（竞选代言人）。

哈巴周三发帖否认相关传闻后，CNN政治评论员斯科特·詹宁斯成为卡尔希平台上最新的热门候选人，紧随其后的是利夫特的副手安娜·凯利。
詹宁斯曾是乔治·W·布什总统的助手，据报道，2024年特朗普胜选后，在利夫特最终获任该职位前，他也曾被考虑出任白宫新闻秘书。
特朗普曾称赞詹宁斯的新书，并称他是一个“懂行的爱国者”。

One of the betting favorites to replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary declared Wednesday that she is not in the running for the job.
The 28-year-old White House press secretary, fresh off maternity leave, announced earlier this month that she would end her tenure at the podium at the end of August to spend more time with her two young children.
As speculation continued to swirl over whom President Donald Trump would tap to succeed Leavitt, bettors on prediction market platform Kalshi began favoring Alina Habba for the role.
KAROLINE LEAVITT’S REPLACEMENT AS PRESS SECRETARY FACES ‘CRITICAL’ TEST AS MIDTERMS LOOM, TRUMP ADVISOR SAYS

Habba, who serves as senior adviser to the attorney general for U.S. attorneys, was previously floated for the position after Trump won re-election.
Bettors on Kalshi gave Habba a 35% chance of being named Leavitt’s replacement at the time before she publicly dismissed the speculation.
Habba, however, threw cold water on that idea.
“Flattered by the Kalshi odds, but I’m not in the running for any job,” Habba posted on X.
“However, if I’m getting a new one, I’d love for one of these anonymous sources to let me know first,” she continued. “Fake news remains the undefeated champ…well…until I come at them.”

When speculation emerged about Habba potentially becoming press secretary following Trump’s 2024 election victory, she said she was “flattered” by the consideration but believed she would “be better served in other capacities.”
Habba went on to serve just over two months as counselor to the president before being appointed interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey. After a federal appeals court upheld a ruling that her subsequent service as acting U.S. attorney was unlawful, she resigned from the position and was later named senior adviser to the attorney general for U.S. attorneys.
Habba also previously served as Trump’s personal attorney and was a high-profile surrogate during his 2024 presidential campaign.

Following Habba’s post Wednesday, CNN political commentator Scott Jennings became the new betting favorite on Kalshi, followed by Leavitt’s deputy, Anna Kelly.
Jennings, a former aide to President George W. Bush, was also reportedly considered for the press secretary role after Trump won the 2024 election before Leavitt was ultimately selected.
Trump has touted Jennings’ recent book and referred to him as a “patriot” who “gets it.”

“The next press secretary will undoubtedly be someone who has a strong existing relationship with President Trump,” former White House press secretary Sean Spicer previously told Fox News Digital.
