White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role, will leave the Trump administration at the end of the month to spend more time with her young family.
Leavitt, 28, called it a “bittersweet decision” in a social media post Wednesday shortly after President Donald Trump announced she would be stepping down. She recently returned to the White House podium after the birth of her second child, a daughter named Viviana, in May. She also has a 2-year-old son.
“The truth is since returning to the White House 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 devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life,” Leavitt wrote.
Trump did not outline plans for who might replace her in the high-profile role. He said in a social media post of his own that her decision to leave is one “I totally understand and respect!” and indicated she would continue to play a role in his orbit.

“Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections,” the president wrote.
Leavitt worked as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Trump, before joining his 2024 campaign. In 2022, she ran for Congress in New Hampshire, winning a 10-way Republican primary before losing the general election to incumbent Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas.
During Trump’s first term in office, Leavitt worked as an aide in the White House press office. She then became communications director for New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik.
Leavitt briefed from the White House press room less frequently than some of her recent predecessors. Trump, who regularly engages with reporters during White House events and during his travels, primarily deployed Leavitt to Fox News and other conservative news outlets to trumpet his agenda and take shots at Democrats and the mainstream media.
Trump’s first-term press secretaries included Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who were known for quarreling with reporters. Another, Stephanie Grisham, never held a briefing. Her successor, Kayleigh McEnany, often lectured the news media during her appearances in the press briefing room.
Good. Nothing but a Trump brain washed idiot.
I would leave too if my boss left me to fly home on the Iranian target plane.
Take the orange freak with you.
Oink oink oink
Best news ever! Time for DJT’S mouthpiece tp gp away!
Who cares, another waste of skin will replace it. TDS.
…amazing how many posters see this as the liberals issue. It’s as if they want to deflect from the topic for whatever reason. I wonder if they are paid help? Think critically and for yourselves folks….
Meanwhile, at the Legion of Liberal, the stakes could not yet again be higher and, where is their leader? On vacation. The number you have dialed belongs to a multi-millionaire that wishes he were a billionaire and leader of a super power.
Ah, this must be where all of the Liberals are hiding. Had some more hate left in them to spew, right?
Couldn’t discuss a topic of relevance, right?
Expletive this and peak DEI that, right?
Can I tell you the story of the Canadian that believed in statistics they didn’t understand?
It goes something like, yadda-yadda Sith.
This crazy f**king bltch will be spending as much time as possible with her elderly pedophiIe husband before he croaks. How sweet
She’ll put a strap-on just to give karny what he wants and needs
Good riddance to smelly poubelle…
Let’s see who joins the Dope Show next.
I think that “Greg” and “Gord” should get together for a little Brokeback Mountain.
Unless they’re the same person.
Either way, pretty embarrassing.
She was the Best. good luck to her.
Probably got tired of bit*ch slapping the fake “news” spinsters.
The rats are leaving the sinking ship. What credible organization would hire such a person?
It’ll be nice to not have to see her arrogant American face anymore…
Great exit strategy of Karoline, given how much trouble Trump is in
Liberals frothing at the mouth at a successful woman who wants to put her family first.
Sad to see the party of love and tolerance resort to such demeaning hatred.
love TRUMPS hate
Karoline leavitt has been groomed and programmed to turn anything that Trump does into just ” nothing”. she is now a professional liar like him. so sad to see woman that young with new babies to be drawn into that den of evil.

I like how all the Trump/ conservative supporters on these comments, try to turn the narrative around, by trying to trash Carney. Nice try, rednecks, you people are so transparent.
How is it that Trump supporters are conservatives? Trump supporters are all MAGAts. They are a hillbilly breed all there own. The thing is, you f*theaded Carney supporters aren’t much better.
Any fool can look around this country and see the shambles it is in after 12 years of Trudeau/Liberal/Carney B*llshit!
Maybe the pillow guy Mark Lindell can replace her. Same “quality” 🤣 as her!

That’s too bad. She was quite good at her job. Family trumps work however.
Reminds of a seal flopping out of water onto rocks.
Looks like her lips are well polished by now.
All you Trumpers so in love with this blond viper from hell. Her lies will catch her. It will be tough on her whelps.
What a bunch of meat heads.
Did Epstein sign her up?
Lips of 0 credibility.
I’d put money on her to kick the shat out of any liberal loser
Very sad comments from bitter Trudeau/Carney Elbows Up followers
We sent people
She reminds me of a donkey the way she makes her lips.
Canadian Elbows Up Liberals can’t stand a strong conservative family oriented women like Karoline Leavitt. They prefer to tear her down.
Just another Trump b*mbo.
Pronouns are a requirement to work for Carney.
If my boss left me on a plane that might get attacked I’d quit too
Trump hires smart and sophisticated women around him. What does Carney do. Check out his wife for example.
We see what Carneys Cheif Trade Representative looks like. Horrible is an understatement
It will be tough to find someone to replace her. She knew her stuff and could handle the rabid press.
Sick of sucking the old guys coc
Leavitt is smarter and hotter than anyone here – myself included.
The comments here are just a manifestation of what drives every liberal – envy.
@American Lover. You must have TDS and not seen her beach photos Perhaps you fantasize about Chrystia Freeland. Lol
She’s so ugly…
Liberals fantasize bout eating Trump’s anus
I fantasize bout sniffing her butt
Another one bites the dust. Who is set to resign from the Trump administration next?
TDS is in full throttle as the new Trump Tariffs are quickly going to be brought in and Carney is too busy to deal with it as he is vacationing in Italy. I admire Trumps work ethic.
Karoline is smart and very easy on the eyes. Trump surrounds himself with smart, intelligent women who know how to present themselves properly.
Now compare her to Chrystia Freeland or other Liberal women.
Just another maga idiot
Libs don’t like her as Karoline doesn’t use pronouns or doesn’t believe in extreme gender ideology.
Bye bye Karoline – hope you can wash off the stink of being orange-man adjacent.
Such stupid comments here. Predictable baloney about “libs” and TDS. Can’t even proofread before they post. So dumb…
She’s amazing, One of the best press secretary’s in a while! We was always so direct and concise with her responses, and she has a very quit whit which was very entertaining.
Shame to see so much hate for someone simply because they have different political beliefs, I cant imagine it bothers her at all though. She was running laps around the crooked lib media and they hated her guts for it.
She’s going to be a strong and amazing mother, would love to see her return to the white house some day! Keep killin’ it Karoline!
I thought Karoline Leavitt did an amazing job. Not sure why Liberals have such TDS.
Hope her Trump brainwashing won’t affect raising her family.
Liberals cannot comprehend the concept of putting family first. They’d rather have the nanny state make all the decisions.
…more likely that cross she is not able to wear anymore is starting to burn…won’t be missed and a very poor example of what she claims to be.
Ahh the TDS never ends… instead of ad hominem come up with evidence based hate. Or is that just impossible?
@Zeke. Her signature cross 😃 will be gone along with the verbal diarrhea. Glad you are one of two who likes her!
She shat out turds smarter than a liberal
She’s moving up on the ladder, now she can be a correspondent/ spokesperson for the real devil. She earned her spurs lying for trump
