The current trend on X around “Press Secretary” is speculation that Maria Bartiromo is about to take the job. press.foxnews.comKaroline Leavitt left the White House Press Secretary role on August 27, 2026, after 19 months, saying she wanted to focus on her young children. The position has been vacant since then, with various officials filling in and a lot of public guessing about the replacement (Anna Kelly, Scott Jennings, and others were frequently mentioned). en.wikipedia.orgToday (September 3, 2026), Fox News announced it had “parted ways” with longtime host Maria Bartiromo, effective immediately. No reason was given. Because Bartiromo has been one of Trump’s most reliable interviewers and a prominent conservative media figure, users immediately connected the dots and started posting that she is leaving Fox to become the next Press Secretary. theepochtimes.comVice President JD Vance has already pushed back on the rumor in comments today, but that hasn’t stopped the posts. The combination of a high-profile sudden departure from Fox plus the still-open Press Secretary job is what’s driving the conversation right now.
