White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her role at the end of the month, President Donald Trump announced. The decision is attributed to Leavitt’s desire to spend more time with her family, including a daughter born in May. She is the youngest White House press secretary ever.
The announcement was made via Truth Social and reported across multiple news outlets, including BBC US, NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, The New York Times, Bloomberg, CNBC, The Hill, Axios, Fox News, Washington Examiner, Independent UK, Financial Times, Sky News, Euronews, Times of India, and Deadline. Leavitt served as a press aide during Trump’s first term and has been a visible advocate for his “Make America Great Again” movement.
Fox News and Fox News Politics reported that Leavitt will transition to an outside advisory role following her departure. While the primary reason cited is family, this adds another dimension to her exit. No right-leaning sources beyond Fox News specified this additional role.
The announcement comes after nearly two years in the position, beginning during Trump’s second term. The cluster of reporting does not indicate any controversy surrounding Leavitt's departure, focusing solely on her stated intention to prioritize family time.
