Washington. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt will leave her post very soon. He is considered the most powerful official in the White House and the closest official to President Donald Trump.

Trump welcomed Levitt’s decision. The President informed about Caroline Leavitt’s departure from the White House by the end of this month in his Truth Social on Wednesday.

“White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt is one of my most trusted colleagues,” she wrote. She will leave her post at the end of the month. After this, she will spend more and more time with her family and her beloved and young children.

President Trump wrote, “I completely respect Levitt’s decision.” Carolyn will now be one of my foremost external advisors and an influential voice in the Republican Party.

She will cooperate in the mid-term elections. Caroline has shown tremendous leadership in the White House. She has fought for justice, independence and freedom since 2018. This also includes the historic election campaign of 2024.

Caroline will be counted as one of the best press secretaries in the history of the White House. I express my gratitude to him for this.

CNN’s report on this development said that less than three months are left for the midterm elections. In such a situation, the departure of one of the President’s closest associates from the White House will be a big change. This change comes at a difficult time for Trump.

His approval ratings are low amid the ongoing war with Iran and high gas prices, and most Americans believe he has not addressed the country’s most pressing problems. 28-year-old Levitt has created history by becoming the youngest White House Press Secretary.

In comparison to Trump’s first term, Levitt emerged as the most powerful official in the second term. He staunchly defended the President and his policies. She certainly clashed with journalists who asked difficult questions but never broke friendly relations.

Behind the microphone and on social media, she presented herself as a good wife and working mother. She has been taking her younger son Nico to Air Force One and the Oval Office.

She has been photographed with her husband during the Easter Egg Roll and Halloween celebrations at the White House. She has been making apple pie herself and spending loving moments with her newborn daughter Viviana.

Levitt wrote in a social media post after Trump’s post, “The truth is that after returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I felt in my heart that I now have to think about something to be a great mother.

I am both happy and sad about my decision to leave the White House.” It is noteworthy that after the birth of her daughter on May 1, Leavitt took almost a month’s leave from the White House. When Leavitt’s first child was born in July 2024, she took only four days off.

After Trump’s first term, Leavitt contested the general election for Congress from her home state of New Hampshire, but lost. Then she became a trusted face during the 2024 presidential election campaign.

Now, as the heat for the 2026 midterm elections increases, Leavitt could emerge as an important messenger from the outside. She also wrote on Wednesday, “I will always be a supporter of the Republican Party.” On the other hand, the picture in the White House is not clear as to who will replace Levitt.
