Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Joins Fox News
Karoline Leavitt, the former White House press secretary, is set to join Fox News as an on-air contributor starting in November. Leavitt previously served as the youngest press secretary in U.S. history before stepping down from the administration in August.
Karoline Leavitt, who served as the White House press secretary during the second term of President Donald Trump, will join Fox News as a contributor beginning November 1. Leavitt, 29, gained national attention as the youngest person to hold the press secretary position in American history.
Leavitt stepped down from her role in the Trump administration on August 27. At the time of her departure, she stated that she intended to focus on her family and transition into a role with the Trump-aligned super PAC, MAGA Inc. Leavitt’s move to Fox News follows a trend of former Trump administration officials and political allies joining the network’s roster of commentators.
While the reporting on her new role is consistent across outlets, there are minor differences in how her background is presented. The Guardian highlights her personal milestones, noting that she was the first sitting press secretary to announce a pregnancy while in office and that she left the administration following the birth of her second child. Other outlets, such as The Hill and the Washington Examiner, focus primarily on her professional tenure and the timing of her transition to the network. Fox News emphasizes her record-breaking status as the youngest press secretary in history as a key part of her professional profile.
