Karoline Leavitt, who served as a spokesperson for U.S. President Donald Trump, is set to rejoin Maga Inc., a political action committee dedicated to supporting Trump, following her announced departure from the White House. The 28-year-old announced on Friday that she would return to the organization, described as a Super PAC, which functions as a political action and fundraising committee advocating for Trump.

Leavitt had revealed her intention to leave her position as presidential spokesperson at the end of the month. She stated her decision was driven by a desire to dedicate more time to her family after the birth of her second child. President Donald Trump praised Leavitt, calling her "one of my closest confidantes," and indicated she would continue to work for him as an external advisor.

When questioned about a successor for the spokesperson role, Trump did not name any individuals on Friday. He remarked that he had "never in my life received so many applications." Leavitt's departure from the White House occurs just months before the crucial November midterm elections, a period during which Trump's Republican party faces the threat of significant losses.
