Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary in U.S. history, will leave her post at the end of the month, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday. She will remain an outside adviser to him.
“Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Leavitt, 28, who has held the job since Trump returned to office for the second time in 2025, has been one of the president’s fiercest defenders in his second term. Trump praised her on Wednesday as a “a real leader” and “one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office.”
Trump has had more complicated relationships with his former White House press secretaries, including Kayleigh McEnany and Sean Spicer, both of whom he has publicly criticized.
Leavitt returned to her role last month after taking maternity leave for the birth of her second child, Viviana, in May.
Trump did not announce who will succeed Leavitt.
