Karoline Leavitt discusses Trump and White House departure

Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared insights into her time in the administration and her future career during a recent Instagram Q&A session. Leavitt, who made history as the youngest person to hold the position, described President Donald Trump as “kind and uplifting” and “hilarious,” noting that the media often fails to portray these aspects of his personality.

Leavitt explained that she stepped down from her role in August 2026 to spend more time with her two children, citing the intense demands of the position which included working over 60 hours per week and remaining on call 24/7. Regarding her professional future, she announced that she will officially join Fox News Channel as a television contributor on November 1st.

Addressing aspiring political professionals, Leavitt advised students to seek practical, real-world experience and internships during college to better understand the industry.
