White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will depart her role later this month, a move that will deprive President Donald Trump of his top spokesperson less than three months until the November midterm elections.
Leavitt will depart from her role to spend time with her young children and family, the president says.
Leavitt called it a "bittersweet decision" in a social media post Wednesday shortly after President Donald Trump announced she would be stepping down. She recently returned to the White House podium after the birth of her second child, a daughter named Viviana, in May.
