Karoline Leavitt to resign as Trump's spokesperson at the end of the month

Karoline Leavitt, the White House spokesperson, will resign from her position at the end of the month. This was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Leavitt stated, according to Trump, that she wants to spend more time with her family. She had only returned from her maternity leave about a month ago, during which she gave birth to her second child.

The 28-year-old Leavitt was the youngest spokesperson in the history of the White House, serving during Trump's second term. Her resignation has been confirmed by several media reports, including "DER STANDARD" and "Südtirol News." Trump praised Leavitt, calling her one of the best press secretaries the White House has ever had.

In her role as spokesperson, Leavitt was responsible for answering press questions daily. Her resignation comes just under two months after her return to the position, which underscores her decision to spend more time with her family.

According to "De Telegraaf," Leavitt will step down as press secretary at the end of the month to focus more on her two young children. Additionally, "NOS" reported that she could potentially work as a consultant for the Republicans in the future.

The announcement of her resignation occurred via Trump's social media platform, Truth Social. On social media, Leavitt also expressed her desire to concentrate on family life, which further clarifies her decision.

The exact successors to the spokesperson role are not yet known. Leavitt was a close aide to Trump, and her departure is viewed by the media as a significant loss for the president's team. Public interest in this matter remains high, as Leavitt's role in the administration was considered influential.
