White House Press Secretary Kaitlyn Leavitt recently announced that she’s stepping down from her position to focus on her two young children. That has many speculating who should take her place. Some are cheekily suggesting the White House should court someone who has extensive experience with unhinged ‘professionals’ with enormous egos who act like spoiled children. With that experience in mind, they say the WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham would be the perfect choice to deal with ‘journalists’ in daily White House press briefings.

At 29, Sophie Cunningham is one year younger than the departing Leavitt.

Some are already imagining the Indiana Fever shooting guard at the podium. (WATCH BOTH)

That phrase describes almost the entire White House press corps.

Cunningham gained national fame in late June when she refused to stop pointing at an on-court opponent. (WATCH BOTH)

‘CC’ is Cunningham’s Fever teammate Caitlin Clark, who is regularly physically attacked by opposing players on court.

Other commenters say Cunningham is not their first choice.

We might finally see Scott Pressler and his CNN doppelgänger, Kaitlan Collins, in the same room.

Still, posters say they have a fever for the Fever star.

Pay? So, the opposite of the WNBA.
