Spicer: 2017-2017White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer will step back from giving reporters the daily press briefing and is searching for his replacement at the podium.
"We have sought input from many people as we look to expand our communications operation. As he did in the beginning, Sean Spicer is managing both the communications and press office," White House officials said in a statement Monday.

Spicer will continue to fill the duties of the communications director – a post that has been empty since the end of May after the resignation of Mike Dubke.
There has been plenty of speculation about Spicer's job almost since the first day of the Trump administration, when he came before members of the media to defend the new president's claims about crowd sizes at his inauguration. The chatter has ramped up in recent weeks, as he gave over many of his briefing duties to his deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The White House has reportedly not yet settled on a title for Spicer's new role, which is part of a broader shakeup meant to wipe the slate clean after a series of communications missteps.
According to Politico, Spicer and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus are interviewing candidates for the press secretary role. Among the candidates are said to be Laura Ingraham, the Fox News personality and a potential candidate to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and David Martosko, the editor of the Daily Mail, who met with senior White House strategist Steve Bannon last week.
Sanders has reportedly told people she does not want the job.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a co-host of Fox News' "The Five," last month said she had conversations with the Trump administration about taking over the role, but apparently has not been formally interviewed.
Going to miss that guy.

I got $50 on Alex Jones becoming the next Press Secretary.

I'm still holding out on the long odds that we'll get Press Secretary Laura Ingraham.
I'm going to miss our little weeb press secretary, he didn't even last 6 months in the job : (

Spicey had the best standup routine of the first half of 2017.
Real talk, seems like he finally found his nuts.
Please let it be a clown from Fox News. PLEASE!

He was already out. In his last conference, no cameras, no recording. He refused any questions twice in a couple months' time. And then there was his substitutes Huckabee-Sanders and Mattiis. Oh...and the alleged screaming match Trump had with him when SNL potrayed Spicer with a woman.
Very much like Trump not being impeached but becoming untouchably toxic, Spicer can stay or go for all I care. His reputation is garbage. He's beyond a joke and somewhere into pity.

There sure seems to be a lot of turnover for someone who was so great at picking the best people.
Strange.

I don't think I can handle the laughter. Seriously, it will be lethal.

really Trump should scrap the press secretary position anyway. not like he's capable of going along with whatever narrative they come up with anyway.

Poor SNL, there goes their best segment.
Good nightey Mr Spicey. I don't know if there's another soul on earth who could do such a good job being Baghdad Bob for the Trump Administration. Originally Posted by Tojara

RIP Spicer. You were a good dog, the best dog a president could hope to have.

well, duh, that's an example backing up the reasoning behind what I said. every president before Trump has had the ability to go along with a predetermined strategy to stay on the same page, but Trump is totally incapable of ignoring his knee jerk reactions and it shows in all of his behavior so far.

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did with all that stuttering trying to think of something to say.

So maybe it'll be Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Then Melissa McCarthy wouldn't need to go through makeup. Originally Posted by Tojara

Trump getting rid of 2 jobs. But he did give Lawyers lawyers a job. Swings and roundabouts.
