White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to Step Down

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is departing her role at the end of August, as announced by President Donald Trump on Truth Social. Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in U.S. history, cited a desire to spend more time with her two young children and family. Trump stated she will become one of his top outside advisers. Her departure comes at a time when Trump's approval rating is at a historic low, according to YouGov polling, amid concerns over rising prices and the ongoing war in Iran.
