Karoline Leavitt to resign as White House Press Secretary in August

Karoline Leavitt White House Press Secretary Donald Trump resignation maternity leave

Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, will step down from her position at the end of August. Leavitt, 28, cited the need to focus on her family and her two young children following the birth of her daughter, Viviana, in May.

President Donald Trump praised Leavitt as one of his most trusted aides and one of the best press secretaries in the history of the office. While she is leaving her official role, Trump stated she will continue to serve as a top outside adviser and an influential voice within the Republican Party ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

Leavitt’s tenure was marked by a combative communication style and frequent clashes with the press corps. Her departure has sparked speculation regarding her successor, with no official replacement named yet. Some reports suggest the administration may delay appointing a new press secretary until after the November midterms.
