Leavitt Steps Down for Family | Virginia Beach News

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down at the end of the month to focus on her growing family, having welcomed her second child while juggling a two-year-old son and the demands of the role. Calling it a “bittersweet decision,” she announced her departure on social media — a move President Trump fully supports, praising her and noting she’ll remain a key Republican strategist ahead of midterms. Before becoming press secretary, Leavitt built a strong conservative communications career, including work for Trump’s campaign, a congressional run in New Hampshire, and roles in his first term. Though less frequent in briefings than predecessors, she was a vocal presence on conservative media. Her exit ends a high-profile chapter — but her political influence is far from over.
