US: Karoline Leavitt to step down as Trump's spokesperson
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is to leave her job at the end of the month, President Donald Trump says. Leavitt, 28, is the youngest-ever person to have held the position.
Karoline Leavitt will resign as Trump's spokesperson at the end of the month, according to US President Donald Trump. Leavitt, 28, is a prominent figure in the MAGA movement and has been the youngest-ever White House press secretary. She took on the role in January 2025 at the start of Trump's second term and recently returned from parental leave after the birth of her second child, a daughter, in May.
Leavitt, who had previously worked for Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc., cited the challenges of balancing motherhood with the demands of the White House position for her decision to leave. Despite her tenure, Leavitt has been lauded by Trump as one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the history of the office.
