Summary
Karoline Leavitt said she will leave the White House at the end of the month after the birth of her second child, saying the job’s round-the-clock demands conflicted with family life.
Trump said the 28-year-old will remain in his orbit as a top outside adviser and an influential Republican voice, while Leavitt told reporters her family plans to stay in Washington.
MAGA Inc. is expected to be her next formal base; Leavitt previously worked there as a spokeswoman before becoming the administration’s press secretary.
A recent Joint Base Andrews appearance alongside Trump underscored that her title is changing, but her public role in Trump’s political operation is not disappearing.
