Karoline Leavitt Steps Down for Family | Los Angeles News

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down at the end of August to focus on her family, marking the end of a whirlwind tenure that began when she was just 27 — the youngest ever to hold the role. President Trump praised her as one of his most trusted aides and a true leader, commending her dedication to justice and freedom while noting her continued influence in the GOP ahead of midterms. Leavitt, who also served as a national spokesperson for Trump’s 2024 campaign, called her time in the West Wing an honor and adventure, expressing gratitude for the opportunities — including meeting world leaders — but ultimately admitting she couldn’t balance motherhood with the demands of the job after welcoming her second child. Her departure closes a chapter for the sixth consecutive mother to have held the press secretary post. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
