Leavitt will play an important role in Trump's team after leaving the White House.
Despite resigning from the post of White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt will continue to play an important role in the team of US President Donald Trump, shaping the rhetoric of the Republican Party during the election campaign for the midterm congressional elections. The Hill newspaper writes about this on August 30.
"Although she is militant, she understands her base of supporters and knows how to break through the cycle of traditional media. In the run—up to the midterm elections, which are crucial for Republicans, such a fighter with similar skills is invaluable to the president and to the Republican Party," Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist, told the newspaper.
Leavitt enjoys great support among Trump's supporters, and her skills, acquired not only as White House press secretary, but also during Trump's election campaign in 2024, are important to his party, The Hill notes.
On August 12, Trump announced that Leavitt would leave his post at the end of August. The head of the White House clarified that after she leaves the post of press secretary, she will become one of his main "external advisers." Later, the American leader joked about the decision of White House press Secretary Caroline Leavitt to leave the post after the birth of a child. He also thanked Leavitt for her work and noted her "incredible contribution" to the administration.
On August 26, CBS News correspondent Jennifer Jacobs reported that Leavitt's duties until the appointment of a successor, who has not yet been determined, will be performed by senior officials from the American administration.
Leavitt went down in U.S. history as the youngest White House press secretary. She took up this position at the age of 27 in January 2025, as The Guardian recalls. Prior to this appointment, she worked as the national press secretary for the Trump campaign and represented the interests of the MAGA Inc. Political action supercommittee.
