News From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, will leave her post at the end of the month.
  • She plans to rejoin Maga Inc., a political action committee supporting Donald Trump.
  • Leavitt previously worked for Maga Inc. and Trump's campaign team.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced she will depart from her role at the end of August. The 28-year-old plans to return to Maga Inc., a prominent Super PAC dedicated to supporting Donald Trump's political endeavors.

Leavitt, who has served as President Trump's spokesperson, stated her decision to leave is to focus more on her family following the birth of her second child. Trump acknowledged Leavitt as "one of my closest confidantes" and indicated she would continue to advise him in an external capacity.

Before joining the White House, Leavitt was actively involved with Maga Inc. from 2022 to 2024. She then transitioned to Trump's presidential campaign team. Super PACs, or Political Action Committees, play a significant role in U.S. election campaigns by raising unlimited funds for political advertising.

Leavitt's departure comes just months before the November midterm elections, a period where Trump's Republican party faces potential setbacks. When asked about a successor, Trump mentioned receiving a high volume of applications but did not name any specific candidates.
