Karoline Leavitt to step down as White House press secretary to focus on family

Karoline Leavitt will step down from her role as White House press secretary at the end of the month to spend more time with her two young children. The administration announced that Leavitt, who became the youngest press secretary in history, will transition to a role as a top outside advisor for President Donald Trump. Leavitt confirmed her departure while traveling aboard Air Force One, noting that she made the bittersweet decision to balance the demands of the press secretary position with her responsibilities as a mother. She will return to the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc., where she previously served as a spokesperson. President Donald Trump praised Leavitt for her leadership and service during her tenure. While a successor has not yet been named, Leavitt intends to remain active in the political sphere, stating that she will remain a familiar presence in the political orbit of President Donald Trump as Republicans prepare for the midterm elections.
