Karoline Leavitt is set to leave her position as White House press secretary at the end of August, according to reports from the Associated Press and CBS News.

President Donald Trump has not publicly named a successor. AP reported that Leavitt is expected to continue as an outside adviser after leaving the formal press secretary role.
CBS News reported that Leavitt cited family considerations in the announcement. She became a prominent public face of the administration through White House briefings and television appearances.
The timing means the administration will need to decide whether to appoint a permanent replacement or use an interim arrangement for the briefings. Neither report identified a confirmed successor at the time of publication.
Leavitt’s departure is an administrative change and does not by itself indicate a change in the administration’s stated policies. The White House will provide the authoritative update on the next press secretary.
The White House press secretary is responsible for communicating the administration’s position to journalists. A replacement would inherit that public-facing role during an active political period.
The next briefing arrangement may be temporary or permanent, but no replacement had been confirmed in the reports used for this article.karoline-leavitt-leave-white-house-press-secretary-role
