White House Press Secretary Leavitt to Depart Role, Trump Says
Trump said the 28-year-old will stay on as an outside adviser as Republicans brace for the midterm elections.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her position at the end of August to spend more time with her young children.
- Leavitt recently returned to the James Brady Press Briefing Room on July 16, 2026, after taking maternity leave following the birth of her second child, Viviana, in May; the intense demands of the role influenced her departure decision.
- Trump described Leavitt as one of his "most trusted aides" in a social media post, confirming she will transition to a top outside advisor role; however, the president has not yet named a successor.
- At age 27, Leavitt became the youngest White House Press Secretary in history when she started in 2025, having previously served as a national spokesperson for Trump's campaign, frequently defending his policies on television.
- As an influential voice within the Republican Party, Leavitt will continue supporting the administration as it works to "defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections" in her new outside advisor capacity.
