“Our wonderful White House press secretary, and one of my most trusted collaborators, Karoline Leavitt, will leave her position at the end of the month to spend more time with her precious young children and family, a decision I fully understand and respect!” he stated on his social media.
The leader specified that Leavitt is leaving the position but will serve as “one of (his) main external advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party” ahead of the midterm elections scheduled for November.
Trump highlighted the “authentic” leadership of his former spokesperson within the White House, as well as her “phenomenal work for justice and freedom” and, in particular, her “historic 2024 reelection campaign.”
Leavitt, for her part, thanked the White House occupant for choosing her for a role she said has been an “honor and the adventure of a lifetime.”

Already on her personal social media account, she confirmed the reason for her departure, a decision she described as “bittersweet,” stating that “after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while dedicating the constant time, energy, and attention that the White House Press Secretary role requires.”
She also reported that she has agreed, at Trump’s request, to act as “his main advisor from outside,” while assuring that she will continue her “firm” defense of the MAGA movement and the Republican Party.
“Our country faces an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democratic Party that seeks to destroy all that is great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over,” she stated.
