Bill Pulte promotes Caroline Sunshine as possible White House press secretary
Caroline Sunshine, a former Trump campaign aide, is being promoted by Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte as a possible next White House press secretary. The vacancy has prompted lobbying among Trump allies, though Sunshine’s past criticism of the President and accounts of difficulties during the 2024 campaign could complicate her prospects.
A source said Trump praised Sunshine’s recent television appearances but noted that she had said negative things about him; Stephen Miller reportedly endorsed her on television but is said to oppose her privately. Former colleagues described seeing Sunshine cry at work and said she sometimes disappeared for hours or shut herself in her office. Sunshine, 31, previously worked in Trump’s first-term White House, on his 2024 campaign and as press secretary for Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential bid.
