Karoline Leavitt to leave White House role for MAGA Inc

Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, has announced she will step down from her position at the end of August. Leavitt, who is 28, cited a desire to spend more time with her two young children following the birth of her second child in May as the primary reason for her departure.

Leavitt confirmed during her final official flight on Air Force One that she will remain within President Donald Trump’s political circle by returning to MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC where she previously served as a spokesperson. While her specific new role at the organization has not been disclosed, Trump described her as one of his most trusted aides and an influential voice for the Republican Party heading into the November midterm elections.

The vacancy of the Press Secretary role has drawn significant attention in Washington. President Trump noted a high volume of interest in the position, mentioning potential candidates such as conservative commentator Scott Jennings and Margo Martin. Other names being discussed in media reports include Anna Kelly and Katie Miller.
