Trump's 'fiery' press secretary resigns, will remain advisor

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has announced her decision to resign from her post, a move confirmed by President Donald Trump. Leavitt, known for her strong advocacy of Trump's policies and frequent clashes with journalists during press briefings, will be stepping down from her role.

Despite her resignation as Press Secretary, Leavitt is expected to continue her work with the President in a senior advisory capacity. Trump shared the news via his Truth Social account, emphasizing Leavitt's ongoing role within his administration.

“

While she is stepping down from the White House Press Secretary role, Karoline will continue to serve as one of my senior advisors.

At 28 years old, Leavitt holds the distinction of being the youngest chief press secretary in White House history. She recently became a mother for the second time in May. Leavitt stated that her resignation is due to personal reasons. However, some political analysts suggest that Trump's declining popularity may have also contributed to her decision to leave the press secretary position.
