White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is leaving her role at the end of the month to spend more time with family, President Trump said Wednesday.
She will continue to be an outside adviser, he added.
“Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect!,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Leavitt, 28, was the youngest ever White House press secretary. She recently returned from parental leave after the birth of her second child in May.
“The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life,” she said on social media.
Leavitt’s departure comes as the president, and his party, are struggling with voters who disapprove of his handling of the economy and high prices amid the Iran war.
In his post, Trump said Leavitt would still be an “influential voice” for the GOP.
Leavitt first started working for Trump in his first administration in 2020 and left shortly before his term ended. She later made an unsuccessful run for Congress in her home state of New Hampshire. Later, she went on to work for Trump’s super PAC before working for Trump’s 2024 campaign.
It’s not yet clear who will replace her; several Cabinet secretaries filled in for Leavitt while she was on parental leave.
Hmm how 'bout them epstein files though?

Y’all are thinking of tRump’s other blonde bitch, Pam Bondi.
Bye bitch. See you at the tribunals!
Like that’ll happen. Only a handful of Democrat officials are worth a shit. It’s mostly just a charade the wealthy keep up when there’s only really like 5 policy stances that are different between the two.
Maybe we shouldn’t depend on Democrats to punish these people and at least try instead of throwing up our hands and accepting the status quo?
We need to make these people afraid, including Democrats who are too cowardly to act.

Erika Kirk incoming.
Let the shitstain commence anew!
If she thinks this will protect her from the lies she has spewed for that evil man, she has another thing coming.
I feel sorry for her family.
Guess you could say she’s about to… Leave it. 😎
Leavitt lasted longer than most….
Longer than Scaramoucci, that’s for sure!
Maybe Sean Spicer will take the job back? Someone check the bushes.
It would be great to have Spicey back.
Can we get Scaramucci back?
She’s eaten many souls, and that must be exhausting
