Karoline Leavitt, the youngest individual to serve as White House Press Secretary, is scheduled to step down from her position at the end of this month. President Donald Trump announced the departure on Truth Social, describing Leavitt as one of his most trusted aides. Leavitt, 28, recently resumed her duties at the White House following a brief leave of absence for the birth of her second child in May.
Reflecting on her decision, Leavitt shared on social media that balancing the demands of her high-profile career with motherhood has been a deeply rewarding yet challenging experience. She explained that since returning to her post after the birth of her daughter, she felt she could not be the mother her two children deserve while dedicating the necessary time and energy to the role. Consequently, she has chosen to leave the White House to focus on her family.
President Trump expressed his understanding and support for her decision, noting that she will transition into a new capacity as one of his top outside advisors. He added that she will remain an influential voice within the Republican Party as the administration works toward the upcoming midterm elections. Trump praised Leavitt for her performance, stating, "Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office. Thank you, Karoline, for a job well done!"
Leavitt previously served as a press aide during Trump’s first term and has been a prominent advocate for his "Make America Great Again" movement. Trump commended her for her commitment to defending "justice and freedom" since 2018, specifically highlighting her contributions during the 2024 presidential re-election campaign. Confirming her future plans, Leavitt noted that the President has asked her to continue serving as a top advisor from outside the administration.
