President Trump announces via Truth Social:
“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! 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. Karoline has been a real leader in the White House, and has done a phenomenal job fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom, since 2018, including our Historic Re-Election Campaign of 2024. Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office. Thank you, Karoline, for a job well done!”
Karoline Leavitt delivers the following statement via X:
Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life.
Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes.
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. 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.
President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.
Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.
Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years.
And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role.” {SOURCE}
Bummer..
Thank you Karoline Leavitt ❣️
You will be missed 🙏
Enjoy, love & raise your babies … then … return to help Make America Great again 🇺🇸
O my I will miss her bigly! Who can come after? I vote for Stephen Miller. He takes no nonsense too.
How about Kari Lake? She would be fantastic.
I could see Kari too She is fearless
I think Kari would be a great choice
Paiging Sec of State Rubio, please pick up the nearest RED curtesy phone.
I will miss her.
I keep waiting for the walkaway speech by Susie Wiles, instead I get Tulsi’s and Karoline’s.
Seems like it’s always the good ones that leave us, not the ones that we wish would leave. 😫
Good. All praises & accolades for a job well done AND for putting her children & family FIRST in her daily life.
She is a Standard Bearer for WH Press Secretary… next person up now.
Let the incoming be a cross between a wolverine & a pit bull.
She is definitely going to be a hard act to follow. Gods blessings to you and yours Karoline!
She has represented our President well.
She has represented our country well.
Most of all She has represented herself well. She’s an amazing young lady and will be greatly missed.
Thank you Mrs. Leavitt for your service to our great country. May God bless you and your family.
Leaving with her integrity intact and only increased by her decision! How often has that happened in DC??????
Godspeed you, Karoline. No greater, positive impact on the world than to raise children well and wisely.
She’s young enough that she can raise her family and still come back!
Thank you for a job well done.
God Bless you and yours.
My prediction for the next Press Secretary:
Steven Cheung. He is a loyal supporter of the President.
Job Well done.
You have served your nation and our champion well.
May your family be blessed by your commitment and service.
God Bless America
A lady that had it all in more ways than one.
Class and intelligence are her forte.
She’ll be hard to replace.
May the Lord guide President Trump in his next choice. Very hard.
She is a talent
Probably a prudent move on her part since the WaPo has increased the risk for anyone traveling with the president.
Her husband must be relieved.
