Karoline Leavitt to step down as White House press secretary

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will step down from her post at the end of the month, President Donald Trump announced today. Leavitt, who is 28 years old, has been the youngest person ever to hold the position in the history of the White House.

Leavitt was appointed by President Trump earlier this year and has served as the chief spokesperson for the administration, briefing the media on policy decisions and responding to questions from reporters. Her brief tenure has been noted for its rapid rise to a high‑profile role, and her departure marks the end of a notable chapter in the administration’s communications team.

The announcement leaves the White House without a press secretary, prompting speculation about who will succeed Leavitt and how the administration will manage its media strategy in the coming weeks. The transition will likely involve an internal search and a brief interim period before a new spokesperson is named.
