White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will depart the Trump administration later this month, outlets report, ending a tenure that runs just a few months before the November midterm elections. Bloomberg and other outlets say Trump loses his chief spokesperson, while Leavitt marks her exit with public remarks and social media statements.

Several reports attribute her decision to personal reasons. Leavitt says she wants to spend more time with her young family and describes the choice as “bittersweet.” She recently returned to the White House podium after giving birth to a daughter in May and also has a 2-year-old son. BBC notes she became the youngest person to hold the role when she took office in January 2025.

Outlets differ on emphasis rather than the core facts. Bloomberg focuses on the timing and potential impact on Trump’s communications. The Washington Post and Bloomberg both note that a replacement may not be named immediately, with advisers suggesting a delay. Business Line highlights aspects of her tenure, including more media access and confrontations, while Daily Mail emphasizes the tone of her farewell message.
