Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role of White House press secretary, will leave her position at the end of August, President Donald Trump announced Wednesday. Leavitt, 28, recently returned to the White House after taking a brief leave for the birth of her second child in May.
Family Comes First
Leavitt stated that she has made the decision to depart the White House to spend more time with her family, including her two young children. President Trump expressed his understanding and respect for Leavitt’s decision, stating that she will now serve as one of his top outside advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party.
Leavitt has been a visible advocate for Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ movement and has worked as a press aide in the White House press office during Trump’s first term. She also worked as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Trump, and ran for Congress in New Hampshire in 2022.
