Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, will leave her role at the end of the month to prioritize her family. President Trump confirmed this on Wednesday, stating she will still provide advice externally.
President Trump praised Leavitt, calling her a valuable and trusted aide. He acknowledged her decision to focus on her family, particularly her young children, describing it as understandable and respected. Trump shared these thoughts on Truth Social.
At 28, Leavitt set a record as the youngest White House press secretary. She resumed her duties after taking parental leave following her second child’s birth in May.
Leavitt expressed her feelings about the decision on social media. She shared that balancing her duties at the White House and being a present mother has been challenging. This has led her to resign and start a new chapter in her life.
