Karoline Leavitt announced she will leave the White House press secretary post at the end of the month to work for the political action committee MAGA Inc., and will travel with President Trump to a midterm rally.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, rode Air Force One to a campaign rally in South Carolina on Friday, where she told reporters she will leave the position at the end of the month. She said she will miss the job but plans to join MAGA Inc., a political action committee that supports President Trump, and will accompany the president to a mid-term convention in Dallas in September.
Leavitt, who turned 29 on Monday and gave birth to her second child in May, said she will take a brief vacation in her home state before returning to Washington to start the new role. A senior administration official said the search for her replacement remains ongoing.
President Trump commented that he will miss her and mentioned possible successors, naming conservative commentator Scott Jennings and longtime aide Margo Martin as potential candidates.
