Karoline Leavitt is moving into a new role within President Donald Trump’s political circle after stepping down as White House press secretary. The 28-year-old announced that she will join MAGA Inc., a Republican-aligned super PAC, following her decision to leave the administration after becoming a mother for the second time in May. Leavitt made the announcement aboard Air Force One but did not reveal her exact title or responsibilities within the organization.
Leavitt became one of the most recognizable figures in Trump’s second administration, regularly appearing at White House press briefings and defending the president’s policies. Her decision to step away from the press secretary position marks a change in her public role, but her move to MAGA Inc. means she will remain involved in Trump-aligned politics. The super PAC is reportedly preparing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars during the upcoming midterm election campaign.
Meanwhile, the search for Leavitt’s replacement is underway. Trump has suggested that several people could potentially take over the high-profile position and has acknowledged receiving a large number of applications. When asked about conservative commentator Scott Jennings as a possible candidate, Trump described him positively, while also joking with reporters that one of them could potentially get the job.
Leavitt’s transition comes as the administration prepares for another major political period. Although her new position has not yet been formally detailed, her move to MAGA Inc. ensures that she will continue to have a role in the broader political movement surrounding Trump.
