Leavitt's next career move after exit as Trump's press secretary: Fox News

Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitts next career move has been announced. Leavitt, who left her post in the Trump administration at the end of August , has kept mum about her career plans going forward. But now, Fox News has announced that the 29-year-old will be joining the network beginning November 1 as an on-air contributor. She is expected to appear on multiple shows on the network, providing commentary across opinion and news programs. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement: Karolines firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of todays political landscape. We look forward to her providing our audience with authentic and sharp insight across all Fox News Media platforms. Leavitt added in a statement of her own: I am grateful for the opportunity to continue appearing on Fox News Channel as an official member of the extraordinary team at Fox News Media. I look forward to bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defied my tenure, to Foxs millions of viewers across their many platforms.

She shares her two children, a son and a daughter, with her husband, Nicholas Riccio , 60. A replacement for Leavitt has yet to be announced. In announcing her departure from his administration, Trump wrote in an August post on Truth Social that Leavitt was leaving in order to spend more time with her beautiful young children and family , a decision I totally understand and respect. Leavitt called the role the honor and adventure of a lifetime.

She continued: The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life. Before her time at the White House ended, Leavitt announced that she would return to work for MAGA Inc . She served as a spokesperson for the pro-Trump super PAC before joining Trumps 2024 presidential campaign and later the White House press team. News of Leavitts Fox gig comes just days after a report indicated that the former press secretary is shopping a book about her tenure to publishers.
