Anna Kelly new favourite to replace Katie Zacharia as White House press secretary
Kelly 3/1 (+300) to be new appointment; Scott Jennings next at 4/1 (+400) after Zacharia’s reported dismissal less than a week into the role
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Katie Zacharia’s departure has brought the focus straight back to who will take on one of the most scrutinised jobs in Washington, and Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly heads our market at 3/1 (+300).
“Scott Jennings is close behind at 4/1 (+400), with Elizabeth Pipko at 5/1 (+500), so there is no overwhelming favourite at this stage. Behind the front three is Harrison Fields at 10/1 (+1000), followed by Alina Habba and Danielle Alvarez, both 12/1 (+1200).
“We had Zacharia at 2/1 (+200) to step down before the end of the year following her first briefing, but the speed of her departure has been striking. Attention now turns to who Donald Trump trusts to take over the podium and deliver his administration’s message to the world’s media.”
