Donald Trump\u2019s administration has been rocked by the seismic departure of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt months before the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

With the president\u2019s popularity tanking over soaring prices and the war in Iran, Trump has now lost one of his most effective defenders as he desperately tries to convince voters of his achievements.<\/p>\n

\n

Trump made the announcement on Truth Social on Wednesday, in a post that immediately reverberated across Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOur wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The president added that Leavitt would remain one of his \u201ctop outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the loss of yet another woman from his inner sanctum\u2014and one who has spent the past 18 months sparring with the White House press and going to war with Trump\u2019s critics\u2014is a major blow to Trump\u2019s White House operation.<\/p>\n

The fact that Leavitt effectively gave less than three weeks of notice, and there was no immediate successor named, also raised eyebrows. <\/p>\n

Many women in Trump\u2019s orbit have also been forced out – such as former Attorney General Pam Bondi, former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer – but Leavitt appears to have departed on her own terms.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued after the president\u2019s announcement, Leavitt, 28, explained that \u201cbeing a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary \u2014 and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leavitt has been with Trump for years, but has taken a noticeably lighter workload since she returned from maternity leave a few weeks ago. July 16 marked her first official press briefing after the birth of her second child, in which noted: \u201cLet\u2019s get back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leavitt worked in the president\u2019s first administration, writing constituent mail before transitioning to the press office. <\/p>\n

She later worked for New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and ran as an unsuccessful congressional candidate in New Hampshire, where she met her husband, 60-year-old real estate developer Nicolas Riccio. The couple have two children, Niko, born in 2024, and Viviana, born in May this year. <\/p>\n

But she was only 27 when she became Trump\u2019s White House press secretary, making her the youngest person to ever occupy the role. <\/p>\n

Adored within MAGA circles, the conservative firebrand quickly became a quintessential Trump communicator: combative, disciplined, and ready to take the fight to the media on his behalf.<\/p>\n

But critics will likely remember her as one of the most prolific purveyors of Trump\u2019s falsehoods to ever take the White House podium. <\/p>\n

Fact checkers repeatedly caught her making claims that did not withstand scrutiny, from declaring that \u201ctariffs are a tax cut for the American people\u201d to insisting that $50 million in taxpayer money had been earmarked for condoms in Gaza.<\/p>\n

As tributes poured in from MAGA world on Wednesday, others took a different tone. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe knows she won\u2019t be able to spin what will happen in November,\u201d quipped one political observer on X, a reference to the midterm elections when many Republicans expect they will lose control of Congress.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s just a coincidence that Karoline Leavitt resigned as White House press secretary after being an unwitting decoy on Air Force One,\u201d said another, a reference to Trump leaving top aides and cabinet officials with members of the press on a plane that was being targeted by Iran while he escaped to a safer aircraft.<\/p>\n

Trump, on the other hand, often referred to Leavitt as \u201ca superstar\u201d. During a bizarre interview last year, the 80-year-old even gave her a new moniker: \u201cMachine Gun\u201d Leavitt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she gets up there with that beautiful face and those lips that don\u2019t stop – \u2018op-op-op\u2019, like a little machine gun,\u201d he said, making bizarre sound effects. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s post on Wednesday was far more presidential.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cKaroline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office,\u201d Trump concluded. \u201cThank you, Karoline, for a job well done!\u201d<\/p>\n
