White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role, will leave at month’s end, President Donald Trump has announced on his Truth Social post.

Leavitt, 28, just recently returned to the White House after taking a brief leave for the birth of her second child in May.

Leavitt, who served Trump as a press aide during his first go-around in the White House, has been one of the most visible advocates of Trump’s "Make America Great Again" movement.

President Trump on Wednesday described her as one of his "most trusted aides" in a social media post announcing her departure.

He said 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."

Trump commended Karoline for her leadership at the White House and her commitment to defending "justice and freedom" since 2018, including during the 2024 presidential re-election campaign.

"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!" Trump added.

"President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside," Leavitt said on social media.

Balancing motherhood and a newborn alongside one of the world's most demanding careers has been deeply rewarding, yet undeniably her most challenging experience, said Leavitt.

"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," she said.
