USA: Karoline Leavitt hört als Trump-Sprecherin auf
Die Sprecherin des Weißen Hauses verlässt ihren Posten zum Ende des Monats. Sie wolle mehr Zeit mit ihrer Familie verbringen, erklärte Leavitt. Laut US-Präsident Trump soll die 28-Jährige künftig zu seinen „wichtigsten externen Beratern“ gehören.
Karoline Leavitt, the 28-year-old White House press secretary, is leaving her position at the end of the month. According to US President Trump, she will become one of his top outside advisers. Leavitt cited a desire to spend more time with her family as the reason for her departure.
Leavitt has had a rapid rise through the ranks of Republican politics, previously working for former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik. She joined Donald Trump's 2024 campaign and became the youngest-ever White House press secretary. Leavitt is married to 60-year-old real-estate developer Nicholas Riccio, and they have two children.
Leavitt announced her departure on Wednesday, stating that being a mother and serving as press secretary had been a challenging season of her life. She felt she could not be the best mom to her two young children while devoting the required time and energy to the White House Press Secretary role, according to Axios.
