White House struggling to fill Leavitt’s place as search for press secretary continues

Journalist Stella Escobedo says the White House still hasn’t chosen the next press secretary, saying “the person has to be right”.

“They haven’t announced the next press secretary; that should tell you something,” Ms Escobedo told News24 Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.

“It’s hard to fill that position. The person has to be right. The person who is going to take over has to do a really good job at messaging everything that President Trump has done.”
