Caroline Levitt, who served as the first White House spokesperson in Donald Trump's second administration, will join Fox News next month. This comes just two months after she left the White House at the end of August.
On October 5, Fox News announced that Levitt will begin appearing as a contributor starting November 1. She is expected to provide commentary on both news and opinion programs. Susan Scott, CEO of Fox Media, praised Levitt's experience gained from her time in the White House and on the campaign trail, noting it will help her understand the current political landscape.
Levitt's move mirrors that of her predecessor. Kayleigh McEnany, the last White House spokesperson from Trump's first term, joined Fox News as a contributor in 2021 and now hosts her own program. Lara Trump, the wife of Trump's second son Eric Trump, is also a host on a weekly program at Fox News.
Conversely, Pete Hegseth, Sean Duffy, and Mehmet Oz, who were active at Fox News, were appointed to positions in Trump's second cabinet as Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Transportation, and Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, respectively.
Levitt was part of Trump's campaign team as a spokesperson and became the youngest White House spokesperson in history at the age of 27 when she took office in January 2025. The previous record was held by Ron Ziegler, who served as spokesperson at 29 during the Nixon administration.
She gave birth to her second child in May and went on maternity leave. Levitt stepped down at the end of August to spend more time with her young children. Trump stated that Levitt would continue to serve in an advisory role from outside the White House.
