U.S. President Donald Trump said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her position at the end of August to spend more time with her young children and family.

Axar.az reports that, in a post on Truth Social, Trump said he understood and respected Leavitt’s decision and that she would continue to serve as one of his top outside advisers.

“Our 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!”

Trump said Leavitt would remain an influential voice within the Republican Party as his administration prepares for the 2026 midterm elections.

“Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections.”

Praising Leavitt’s performance, Trump called her one of the best press secretaries in the history of the White House.

“Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office. Thank you, Karoline, for a job well done!”
