Karoline Leavitt, emblematic of the revolving door between the Trump White House and right-wing super PACs, announced her departure from the White House to return to MAGA Inc., citing family reasons. Her move underscores the deep entanglement between Trump’s administration and the dark money groups fueling regressive Republican agendas.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt informed reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday that she will leave her position later this month and return to work for President Donald Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc.—a group notorious for channeling vast sums of untraceable money into reactionary Republican causes. Leavitt, only 28, did not clarify her future role within the organization, further highlighting the lack of transparency that plagues these political operations.
Leavitt, who previously acted as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc. before embedding herself in Trump’s 2024 campaign and then taking on the role of White House press secretary, said this flight would be her last official trip in the position. She made clear her intent to remain active in Trump-aligned political activities, as the Republican Party gears up for the midterm elections—an event likely to see a renewed assault on progressive policies and democratic norms.
On the social media platform X, Leavitt claimed her decision to step down was to spend more time with her two young children, calling it a difficult choice. Yet, neither the White House nor MAGA Inc. have responded to inquiries about her new responsibilities, and Trump has not named a successor. This silence only reinforces concerns about the opacity and cronyism endemic to Trump’s political orbit.
