At the end of the month, White House Press Secretary and Patron Saint of Pathological Liars, Karoline Leavitt, will leave the White House ‘to spend more time with her family.’ Leavitt recently gave birth to her second child.
Leavitt’s departure comes as the president, and his party, are struggling with voters who disapprove of his handling of the economy and high prices amid the Iran war.
Levitt began working for The Worst and Most Corrupt President Ever in 2020 and left shortly before his term ended. She later made an unsuccessful run for Congress in her home state of New Hampshire. Later, she went on to work for Trump’s super PAC before working for Trump’s 2024 campaign.
According to the RW Shithole, The New York Post:
Sources within and close to the administration told The Post that early front-runners for the role are believed to include Alina Habba, the former acting US attorney for New Jersey, and Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.
Other contenders could include former White House deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel Taylor Budowich, who departed that role last September to return to the private sector, and current White House communications director Steven Cheung.
“Rumor Has It…”
What Others are Saying:
As Karoline Leavitt steps down, one question stands out: does the Press Secretary role still serve a purpose in Trump 2.0?
