White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will not be far from President Trump’s side after she officially leaves her position.
As NBC News reported, Leavitt told reporters in the press cabin aboard Air Force One just after takeoff from DC to Myrtle Beach that her new job will be working for Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc.
She previously served as a spokesperson for the SuperPAC before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Leavitt, however, did not specify her precise role with MAGA Inc this time.
Leavitt added that she would miss being press secretary, “but I love my kids even more.” She went on to say that she would remain in DC.
“You guys will still see me all the time,” Leavitt said.
Leavitt also told reporters that Friday’s flight, which was for a rally to support Senator Darline Graham, would be her last trip as press secretary.
She will return for the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention scheduled for Sept. 9 and 10, however.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Trump announced on Wednesday that Leavitt will be departing from her role as White House Press Secretary to spend more time with her young children.
Leavitt was the youngest person to hold the position. She was just 27 years old last year when she took on the role.
Hours following Trump’s announcement, The New York Post reported that two front-runners have emerged as potential successors to Leavitt and both are staunch loyalists to the President.
Trump administration sources told the Post that Trump is looking at Alina Habba, who served as a defense lawyer for Trump and as a former acting attorney for New Jersey, and Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle.
Other names rumored for the role include former White House deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel Taylor Budowich, Katie Miller, a former aide to Elon Musk at DOGE and the wife of deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, and US chief of protocol Monica Crowley.
Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings is also reportedly in the running.
Trump has also joked that he might give the position to White House communications advisor Margo Martin, who has become famous for her outstanding behind-the-scenes videos of work at the White House.
