White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is leaving her role at the end of the month, citing a desire to spend more time with her young family. The 28-year-old, who became the youngest person to hold the position, announced her decision in a social media post. President Donald Trump has not yet planned to replace her, according to reports.
Briefings will be handled by top officials in the interim, as the administration searches for a new spokesperson. Leavitt described her decision as “bittersweet,” acknowledging the challenges of balancing her duties with personal life.
Another candidate, Anna Kelly, a 29-year-old former beauty queen, is now in the spotlight as a potential replacement. While no official announcement has been made, Kelly’s background has drawn attention. The transition highlights the ongoing changes within the Trump administration.
The White House has not yet confirmed any timeline for a new press secretary, leaving the role temporarily unfilled.
