Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lands her next gig as Fox News contributor

New York — Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has ventured into a new role as an on-air contributor on Fox News, commencing on November 1, the network announced on Monday. According to the network's CEO, Suzanne Scott, Leavitt's personal experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail provides her with a unique insight into the current political climate.

Leavitt, speaking in the same statement, expressed her enthusiasm for bringing her distinct viewpoint, stemming from her tenure as White House Press Secretary, along with the same enthusiasm and frankness that characterized her time in the role, to Fox's extensive audience across various platforms. At the age of 29, Leavitt holds the distinction of being the youngest individual to serve as press secretary.

She departed from the position at the end of August, with President Donald Trump referring to her as one of his "most trusted aides." At that time, she mentioned her intention to spend more quality time with her two children. Her second child, Viviana, was born in May, while a two-year-old son is her first. Leavitt is not the first of Trump's press secretaries to transition to Fox News.
