Kalshi’s market on President Donald Trump’s next White House press secretary put Elizabeth Pipko at 6% on Oct. 21, with Anna Kelly at 15% and Scott Jennings at 13%.
The Independent reported Zacharia succeeded Karoline Leavitt in October after Leavitt left the post in August. Kalshi’s market also assigned Leavitt a 2% chance of returning; EconoTimes earlier covered Sean Spicer’s advice on Trump’s next press secretary.
Kelly is the White House principal deputy press secretary. The Independent reported Trump chose Zacharia over Kelly.
Jennings, a CNN MAGA pundit, had a 13% chance in Kalshi’s market. CNN reported in August that Jennings was an early favorite and had discussed the job with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles; Trump later chose Zacharia.
The Independent reported that Darren Centinello, Pipko’s husband, worked on Trump’s campaigns in 2016 and 2020. It also reported that Pipko had modeled and joined the Trump campaign in 2016.
