Karoline Leavitt Steps Down as Press Secretary | Washington DC News

Karoline Leavitt, the youngest-ever White House Press Secretary at 27, is stepping down to focus on her young children after a whirlwind tenure marked by historic milestones and intense pressure. President Trump praised her as a trusted leader and vital voice in the GOP, ensuring she’ll remain a key advisor ahead of elections. Leavitt, who became a top campaign spokesperson for Trump’s 2024 bid and the sixth mother to hold the press secretary role, cited the demands of motherhood as the reason for her departure — acknowledging she couldn’t give her kids the attention they deserved while serving in one of Washington’s most high-stakes positions.
