Alina Habba Makes Statement About Press Secretary Position

By Politics

Attorney Alina Habba revealed on Thursday that she has no plans to change careers in order to become the White House press secretary for President-elect Donald Trump. Habba was a member of Trump’s legal team during a civil fraud case in New York City. She became an instant smash success as she took no prisoners with the mainstream media, taking a rather combative stance with reporters.

“While I am flattered by the support and speculation, the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering. Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities,” Habba said in a post published on X.

“This [administration] is going to be epic! So proud of the Trump team, the latest appointments and 47!” she continued.

Check out more details on this from The Western Journal:

Habba’s name had been bandied about by The Hill this week as it speculated on who would take the job of defending the Trump administration from the media. Topping The Hill’s list was Karoline Leavitt, who was the Trump campaign’s main media representative.

Leavitt served as an assistant to White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany during Trump’s first four year stint in the Oval Office. She then served as the communications director for GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York.

Trump representative Steven Cheung also made the list, although The Hill suggested he might be more likely to land in the background of the White House communications operation rather than being the public face of the administration.

People are also tossing out Scott Jennings’ name for the position. Jennings is a conservative pundit on CNN who routinely owns his liberal counterparts in conversations they have live on air. Just to be a conservative on CNN takes a spine made of steel, so he’s got that working for him.

Another individual folks have suggested is Arizona Republican Kari Lake.

When Politico stirred the waters of speculation, it dropped a large-sized name — Megyn Kelly, who currently has her own podcast after a career at Fox News and NBC. When asked about a possible White House role, Kelly had two words, “No comment.” Politico also tossed out the names of Fox News commentator Katie Pavlich, former White House aide Hogan Gidley, Republican National Committee representative Elizabeth Pipko, and former Treasury Department official Monica Crowley.

“Although Newsweek noted that some social media chatter links Tucker Carlson with the post, it labeled the speculation as misinformation,” The Western Journal’s report concluded.

I personally wish the pick was going to be Habba. I think she has all of the qualities a person needs to have to take on mainstream media reporters and outlets that have been making war on Trump ever since he first announced his candidacy for office in 2015.

Maybe she’ll change her mind? One can hope.
