White House: Trump: Spokesperson Leavitt to leave at end of month
With quick wit and attacks on media representatives at press conferences, the White House spokeswoman made a name for herself. Now the 28-year-old Trump loyalist is stepping down.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that his spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, will resign at the end of the month. The reason for her departure, as stated by Trump, is to spend more time with her children and family. Trump expressed full understanding and respect for Leavitt's decision. The identity of the person she will be following remains unclear.
Leavitt is reported to become one of his "most important external advisors and a powerful voice" within the Republican Party. He praised the 28-year-old as one of the best press secretaries in White House history, noting she was the youngest president's spokesperson in U.S. history. Leavitt gave birth to her second child, a daughter, in early May.
Prior to the birth, she returned to her role as Trump's spokesperson. Known for her sharp tongue and quick wit during press conferences in the White House, she has regularly been criticized by the media, accusing them of spreading false stories about the president. Leavitt remained steadfast in her support for Trump, frequently lauding his work and defending his policies.
