Caroline Levitt, the White House Press Secretary, will step down at the end of this month to spend more time with her two children. After her departure, she will continue to serve as an external advisor to President Donald Trump and support the Republican midterm elections.
Trump announced Levitt's resignation on social media platform Truth Social on August 12.
“She will now have more time to spend with her family,” Trump said, adding, “I fully understand and respect this decision.” He also noted that Levitt would remain involved as a senior external advisor to help secure victories for the Republican Party in the upcoming midterms.
Levitt explained on X (formerly Twitter) that after returning to the White House in May following the birth of her second daughter, she found it challenging to balance her duties as Press Secretary with raising her two children, leading to her decision to resign.
Levitt served in the Trump administration's first term in the White House Press Office and was the spokesperson for Trump's campaign during the 2024 election. She made history as the youngest White House Press Secretary at the age of 27 after Trump’s re-election.
No announcement has been made regarding her successor.
