Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt to step down
Karoline Leavitt, the youngest ever US presidential top spokesperson, has been a fiercely loyal Trump defender, delivering fluent and aggressive performances at often combative press briefings.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, known for her sharp criticisms of journalists, is set to depart her role, President Donald Trump announced. Despite remaining as a senior advisor, Leavitt, who is 28 and the youngest ever US presidential spokesperson, will prioritize time with her young children. The announcement follows Leavitt's return to the White House after the birth of her second child, Viviana, in May.
Trump praised her loyalty and influence within the Republican Party. Leavitt's departure coincides with Trump's declining poll numbers and the potential defeat of the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections. In her statement, Leavitt expressed her gratitude for the trust placed in her, while acknowledging that she could no longer provide the best care for her children while fulfilling her duties as press secretary.
