Leavitt to leave US press secretary job this month
US President Donald Trump said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt would depart her role at the end of the month to spend more time with her family.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is set to leave her role at the end of the month, according to President Donald Trump. President Trump praised Leavitt, describing her as a top aide and an influential voice within the Republican Party. Leavitt, who is 28, will focus more on her family, as she recently had a second child.
Her departure comes at a challenging time for the President, as he faces declining poll numbers and the Republican Party may suffer in the upcoming midterm elections. Leavitt, a veteran of Trump's administration, was known for her strong defense of the President during press briefings and her efforts to reshape the relationship between the White House and journalists. She will now transition into an outside advisory role.
