US President Donald Trump announced that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her position at the end of the month to devote more time to her family. According to him, she will continue alongside him as a senior external adviser and will work toward the midterm elections. Leavitt confirmed the news on X, stating that the tenure was "the greatest honor" and "the adventure of my life." She explained that since returning to the White House after the birth of her daughter, she felt she could not be the best mother to her children while also devoting the required time to the job. Trump praised Leavitt as "one of the best White House press secretaries in the history of the role" and thanked her for her work. Leavitt expressed continued support for MAGA and the Republican Party, and warned of an "existential threat" from the Democratic Party. She thanked the president, the first lady, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and the White House team.
