White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is leaving the Trump administration
WASHINGTON (AP) -- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role, will leave the Trump administration at the end
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is set to depart the Trump administration at the end of the month, citing the need to spend more time with her young family. At 28, Leavitt is the youngest individual to hold the position. She made this decision apparent in a social media post following President Donald Trump's announcement.
Leavitt recently returned to the White House podium after giving birth to her second child, a daughter named Viviana, in May. She also has a 2-year-old son. Leavitt's departure is a "bittersweet" one, as she feels she cannot provide the best care for her children while fulfilling the duties of the White House Press Secretary. Trump, in his own social media post, expressed his understanding and respect for her decision, stating that she will continue to play an influential role within the Republican Party as they aim to secure a victory in the Midterm Elections.
