Who Wants to Cover the Second Coming of Trump?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

81% : And Trump does love TV.
60% : Trump in his first administration went through four press secretaries: Sean Spicer (now a podcaster), Sarah Huckabee Sanders (now the governor of Arkansas), Stephanie Grisham (now a frequent anti-Trump voice on TV panels and beyond -- she spoke at the DNC), and Kayleigh McEnany (now a Fox News co-host).
60% : The paper's Washington bureau will also have new leadership by the time Trump is in office, as bureau chief Elisabeth Bumiller told staff on a call last week that she'd be stepping down from the job in January.
58% : In fact, Trump has yet to name a press secretary, the most public-facing role in the shop.
50% : The 27-year-old, who served as an assistant press secretary and presidential writer during the first Trump administration, was described as sharp, aggressive, and -- as is important to Trump -- telegenic, sparring with CNN and, more recently, previewing Trump's day one on Fox News.
46% : But Trump is still "an almost 80-year-old man who does care about legacy media and headlines he sees and cable coverage he sees.
45% : Dick Stevenson, her No. 2, is high on the list to replace her.
38% : Even as Trump ranted against the "enemy" media, often threatening them, from the rally stage, off-stage, his team was, I'm told, helpful and responsive.
35% : Trump a day earlier had picked Pete Hegseth, the square-jawed Fox News host and self-certified anti-woke crusader, to run the Pentagon.
32% : "It has authority through a social contract, but I don't know what the WHCA would do if Trump said we're changing the seats in the briefing room," a Trump reporter noted.
26% : "Are we going to see Theo Von interviewing Trump in the Oval Office instead of CNN?"
24% : Despite railing against the "fake news" media onstage (and even musing that he wouldn't mind if journalists got shot), Trump still cares about traditional press coverage, and he also likes having reporters as foils.
