Trump announces Karoline Leavitt’s exit as White House press secretary
President Donald Trump announced that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will depart her role at the end of August to focus more time on her family. In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Leavitt as "one of my most trusted aides" and expressed his understanding and respect for her decision. He added that she would remain an influential voice in the Republican Party and as one of his top outside advisors moving forward.
Trump praised Leavitt, calling her one of the best White House Press Secretaries in history and thanking her for her service. Leavitt, who started her career in Republican politics after college, worked for Trump during his first administration and became communications director for Republican Representative Elise Stefanik. She acknowledged the role as "the honor and adventure of a lifetime" but made the difficult decision to prioritize her role as a mother to her two young children.
Leavitt confirmed that Trump had asked her to continue her work as a top outside advisor and a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.
