Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, announced her departure from the administration to focus more time on her family. President Donald Trump announced the news on social media, stating that he fully understands and respects her decision. He added that Leavitt would become one of his top outside advisors after leaving the administration.

At the time of her appointment in 2018, Leavitt was 27, making her the youngest person in U.S. history to hold the role. Prior to her tenure as press secretary, she worked as a press aide during the first Trump administration and ran unsuccessfully for a US House seat in New Hampshire. Leavitt recently welcomed her second child, a daughter, in May of this year.
