Karoline Leavitt, a former White House Press Secretary and a loyal ally of President Donald Trump, has announced her new role at Fox News, where she will provide political commentary and analysis starting November 1, as reported by the network.
The announcement highlighted Leavitt’s “unique understanding of the current political landscape,” underscoring her experience in the high-profile position.
Recently welcoming her second child in the spring, Leavitt left her White House position at the end of August to focus on family but expressed her intent to continue advocating for the Make America Great Again (MAGA) ideology.
In her own words, Leavitt stated, “I am excited to bring my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, with the same energy and candor that defined my tenure,” according to the Fox News release. Before this announcement, she had frequently appeared on the network during her time in office.
As of now, President Trump has not appointed a new press secretary, and the White House has ceased regular press briefings since Leavitt’s departure.
In addition to joining Fox News, Leavitt has already become involved with a pro-Trump electoral funding group, MAGA Inc., a Political Action Committee (PAC).
At just 28 years old, Leavitt was the youngest person to hold the prominent Press Secretary role, where she led an aggressive communication strategy towards traditional media outlets.
Her rapid rise alongside Trump showcased the dissemination of Trumpist ideas among Generation Z. Following her exit, Trump’s hostility towards the press has intensified, with attempts to restrict access for outlets like CNN, MS Now, and Politico, although these efforts were blocked by a judge.
