Alina Habba, who previously served as a personal attorney for President Trump, officially ruled herself out as a candidate for the role of White House press secretary on Wednesday. The clarification came via a social media post in which Habba addressed recent rumors and betting market activity surrounding the potential vacancy.

Speculation regarding the press secretary position has intensified following reports concerning the future of Karoline Leavitt. While betting markets, such as Kalshi, had listed Habba as a potential contender for the role, she explicitly stated that she is not currently in the running for any government position. Habba noted that she was "flattered" by the attention from betting markets but emphasized that she is not pursuing a job within the administration.

As of now, the administration has not made a formal announcement regarding a replacement for Leavitt, nor has it confirmed the status of the press secretary role. The situation remains fluid as observers continue to monitor potential candidates for the high-profile communications position.
