Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt to step down

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has announced she will be stepping down from her role to concentrate on her family. President Donald Trump assured Leavitt that she would remain an influential voice within the Republican Party and one of his top outside advisers. The 28-year-old, who is the youngest ever US presidential spokesperson, has been a vocal defender of Trump, delivering strong performances at press briefings.

Trump praised Leavitt on social media, stating that she would now be focusing on her young children while remaining a dedicated supporter of his political endeavors. Leavitt's departure comes at a time when Trump is facing declining poll numbers and the Republican Party is at risk of losing seats in the upcoming midterm elections.

In her statement, Leavitt expressed her gratitude to the President for entrusting her with the responsibility of speaking on his behalf, as well as her desire to provide the American people with an accurate portrayal of Trump's achievements.
