28-Year-Old White House Press Secretary Quits To Actually Be Mom
KEY POINTS
- •Karoline Leavitt, 28, announced her White House press secretary resignation on Trump’s Truth Social aiming for more family time.

- •Leavitt said balancing motherhood and press secretary duties was too much, acknowledging Democrats seek to 'destroy everything great about America.'
Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary at 28, announced she’s quitting at month’s end to do the unthinkable — spend more time with her kids. Announced via Trump’s Truth Social account (because why not), Karoline juggled babies and bombshells like the Signalgate scandal, Epstein files, and Iran War ominousness—all while defending a president famed for having more press secretaries in one term than you have Netflix passwords. Trump, ever the multitasker, locked in Leavitt as his new top outside adviser for midterms, so no worries, family first, politics second, and still plenty of MAGA-friendly press restrictions to go around.
