President Donald Trump says Karoline Leavitt is stepping aside as White House press secretary. Trump states that Leavitt wants to spend more time with her family after giving birth to her second child.
The reports are consistent across outlets, describing the change as a personal decision rather than a policy-related development. They note that Leavitt is the youngest press secretary and was recently in the role alongside the president’s communications team. Each article attributes the reason for her departure to Trump, without providing additional details about timing beyond that she is stepping aside now.
While all sources focus on the same announcement and rationale, they do not specify who will replace Leavitt or whether any interim arrangements are in place. The coverage therefore centers on the leadership transition in the White House press office and Leavitt’s stated intention to focus on family time.
