Karoline Leavitt to resign as White House Press Secretary

Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, will step down from her position at the end of August 2026. President Donald Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, stating that Leavitt is leaving to spend more time with her family and her two young children. Leavitt, who is 28 years old, made history as the youngest person to serve in the role.

Despite her departure from the West Wing, Trump noted that Leavitt will remain a key figure in his political circle. He described her as one of his most trusted aides and announced that she will transition into a role as one of his top outside advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party. This move comes as the party prepares for the upcoming midterm elections in November.

Leavitt expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to represent the administration, describing her tenure as the “honor and adventure of a lifetime.” She noted that the demands of the role became increasingly difficult to balance with motherhood following the birth of her second child, daughter Viviana, in May 2026. Her departure marks a significant staffing change within the Trump administration.
