Karoline Leavitt is leaving one of the most visible jobs in Donald Trump's White House, saying the demands of being press secretary have made it impossible for her to be the mother she wants to be. The 28-year-old announced she will step down at the end of August, only weeks after returning from maternity leave following the birth of her second child, daughter Viviana, in May.
'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,' she wrote. She described the departure as a 'bittersweet decision' and the beginning of a new chapter.
