The president thanked her in a Truth Social post on Wednesday afternoon.
“Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections,” he said.
“Karoline has been a real leader in the White House, and has done a phenomenal job fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom, since 2018, including our Historic Re-Election Campaign of 2024. Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office,” he continued.
Leavitt posted to X that “serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime.”

It’s unclear who will take the position after her.
