Trump Could Step In as White House Reshuffles Press Briefings During Karoline Leavitt’s Maternity Leave

A temporary shift is taking shape inside the White House press operation as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt prepares to step away from the briefing room and begin maternity leave.
Leavitt, who has become one of the most visible faces of the administration, signaled during a recent press appearance that her time behind the podium was about to pause. Speaking to reporters, she said..
it would “likely” be her last gaggle for some time, joking that she was “about ready to have a baby any minute.”
The moment was personal, but the decision now carries official consequences. With Leavitt preparing to welcome her second child, the White House is adjusting how it will communicate with the press during her absence.
And the plan may not look like a traditional handoff.
