White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave that post by the end of August, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Leavitt, 28, is resigning “so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect!” Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing her planned departure.<\/p>\n

The president said that Leavitt will become “one of my top outside advisors,” and work with the Republican Party to win the upcoming midterm elections in November.<\/p>\n

Leavitt, who has served as White House press secretary since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, has two young children with her husband, real estate developer Nicholas Riccio.<\/p>\n

She gave birth to her daughter, Viviana, on May 1, days after going on maternity leave.<\/p>\n

Leavitt, in a post on X, said, “Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least.”<\/p>\n

“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 \u2014 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,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Leavitt is the youngest White House press secretary ever.<\/p>\n

Trump had four White House press secretaries during his first term, from January 2017 to January 2021.<\/p>\n
