Trump in no rush to replace Karoline Leavitt as jockeying begins behind the scenes

Donald Trump reportedly feels “zero urgency” to immediately choose a new White House press secretary following Karoline Leavitt’s departure.

While Trump appears comfortable keeping his options open, potential successors are already drawing attention behind the scenes. The next press secretary would take on a highly visible role at a crucial political moment, helping shape the administration’s message as the 2026 midterm elections approach.

so quick recap: Trump tore down the East Wing to build a 90,000 sq ft ballroom. an appeals court said "actually you needed Congress's permission for that" and blocked construction. Trump's response? straight to the Supreme Court.

the project is already 65% done — five stories underground, 70 feet up — so this isn't hypothetical, there's an actual half-built structure sitting on White House grounds right now.
