Karoline Leavitt has found her next career move after leaving her position as White House press secretary. Fox News announced that Leavitt, 29, will join the network as an on-air contributor beginning November 1, bringing her experience from the Trump administration and presidential campaign to its programming. 📺
Leavitt left the White House in August after saying she wanted to spend more time with her two young children. She had made history as the youngest White House press secretary and became one of President Donald Trump’s most recognizable defenders during his second administration.
Her new arrangement has drawn attention because Fox News reportedly plans to build a television studio inside her New Hampshire home, allowing her to work for the network without regularly traveling to a studio. The setup has also prompted comparisons with Leavitt’s previous defense of Trump’s push for federal employees to return to in-person work, although her new position is a private-sector media role.
The timing is also notable because Trump recently criticized Fox News, accusing the network of giving too much airtime to Democrats and complaining about what he described as negative coverage. In a September 30 post, he specifically mentioned figures including Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and Fox contributor Jessica Tarlov. Despite those tensions, Leavitt is now joining Fox, creating an interesting new chapter in her political and media career. 🎤
