Insiders said Trump\u2019s incessant phone calls while she was on maternity leave were a factor in her decision.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The White House is now scrabbling to man the podium with someone capable of defending the administration from itself as Trump\u2019s gaffes threaten a bloodbath at the November midterms. Republicans hold only slim majorities in the House and Senate, and the Democrats\u2019 current 8-point lead on the generic congressional ballot suggests the GOP could very well lose control of both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Betting site Kalshi had Alina Habba, 42, as the frontrunner in that race by a wide margin on Wednesday, handing her a 41.2-percent chance of landing the job, with a 24.3-point lead on her nearest contender. Habba previously served as Trump\u2019s personal attorney and acted as U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey from March to December last year, when a court ruled she\u2019d been illegally appointed. <\/p>\n<p>Habba reacted to her status. \u201cFlattered by the Kalshi odds, but I\u2019m not in the running for any job,\u201d Habba posted just after 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening. \u201cHowever, if I\u2019m getting a new one, I\u2019d love for one of these anonymous sources to let me know first. Fake news remains the undefeated champ\u2026 well\u2026 until I come at them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Habba\u2019s coy denial cuts against other signs that she\u2019s not only in the running for the job, but is actively campaigning for it. She\u2019s said that whoever \u201cgets that podium next better come ready for a fight they have big shoes to fill,\u201d and over the weekend, she attended Trump\u2019s Bedminster golf course for a dinner said to have basically functioned as a ring-kissing ceremony for the president\u2019s would-be press secretaries. One source with knowledge of the event told the Daily Mail on Tuesday it had unfolded like an episode of <i>The Apprentice<\/i>. \u201cIt reeks of desperation,\u201d the person said.<\/p>\n<p>Habba\u2019s cryptic sign-off to her Wednesday post did little to dampen the shock to her odds, which instantly crashed to a decidedly less optimistic 7 percent. That\u2019s only the market read on her chances, though, and Trump has privately said he\u2019s keen for another woman to replace Leavitt. <\/p>\n<p>If that preference holds, Habba may still be in with a chance\u2014provided she\u2019s able to beat the president\u2019s personal assistant and \u201chuman binkie\u201d Natalie Harp, Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, Homeland Security spokesperson Katie Zacharia, her predecessor Tricia McLaughlin, RNC spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko, former Kennedy Center spokesperson Roman Davari, and at least 12 other female candidates who\u2019ve made Kalshi\u2019s list. <\/p>\n<p>The men who\u2019ve thrown their hat into the ring include fedral housing chief Bill Pulte, Breitbart\u2019s D.C. Bureau chief Matthew Boyle, and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5762\">Trump\u2019s White House Exodus Spirals With Major Departure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also in the running is CNN\u2019s resident conservative pundit, Scott Jennings, who the Daily Beast reported last week is an early frontrunner for the job. <\/p>\n<p>Jennings, 48, served under the George W. Bush administration and later as an aide to now-missing Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell. He\u2019s since established himself as one of Trump\u2019s most foam-mouthed TV defenders, and, by the look of it, wants Leavitt\u2019s old gig even more than Habba does.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Mail, for which Jennings is a columnist, reported this week that the pundit had secretly met with Deputy Chief of Staff Susie Wiles at least twice to discuss taking on the job, with one of those clandestine conferences taking place before Leavitt even announced she was stepping down.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles, known as Trump\u2019s \u201cICE Maiden\u201d for her grip on White House operations, considers Jennings her chosen candidate. \u201cThey speak often,\u201d sources with knowledge of her thinking on Jennings told the Mail. \u201cThe job is his if he wants it,\u201d one of those people added. \u201cAnd he does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jennings has remained shtum about whether he\u2019s got his eyes on the podium even as he\u2019s ramped up his defense of the president in a series of media appearances that are hard to read as anything less than audition tapes for the role. Only on Monday night, he went to bat hard for Trump over Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff\u2019s weekend criticism of the 80-year-old president\u2019s closeness with his 35-year-old personal assistant, Harp. <\/p>\n<p>It did not go well. Jennings blasted Ossoff as a \u201cdisgusting coward\u201d for supposedly \u201cinsinuating the only possible reason [Harp] could have a job in politics is because she\u2019s a concubine for a politician.\u201d CNN host Laura Coates immediately shut him down by pointing out that Trump has repeatedly attacked female journalists for far worse\u2014giving Jennings just a flavor of the challenges he\u2019ll face if he lands the job he won\u2019t admit he wants.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted Habba, Jennings, and the White House for comment on this story. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5761\">Trump\u2019s Blonde Companion \u2018Not Beloved\u2019 by White House Rivals<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The frantic race to replace Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary is heating up after the bettors\u2019 favorite broke her silence on whether she\u2019s gunning for the job.
