White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has returned to the briefing room after taking maternity leave. Leavitt, a devoted wife and working mom, gave her first full briefing to reporters since her leave, focusing on getting back to work.
Back to Business
Leavitt was asked about her secret to balancing work and family life as a working mom of two children under the age of two. She stated that there is no secret, and it’s about showing up every day and keeping going. Leavitt also thanked her husband for his support, as he is currently taking care of their babies.
Leavitt has been a loyal and effective spokesperson for President Donald Trump, and her return to the briefing room marks a significant moment for the administration. During her leave, other top officials filled in for her, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Leavitt’s return to work comes as the administration prepares for a busy schedule, including President Trump’s upcoming speech on election integrity. The White House press briefings had become less frequent during Leavitt’s absence, but her return is expected to bring a sense of normalcy back to the press room.
