White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany's Replacement Announces Shocking Departure. In a surprise move, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany's replacement, Karoline Leavitt, has announced her resignation, citing a "bittersweet decision" in a social media post. The sudden departure comes just days after President Donald Trump announced her appointment to the role, following a brief stint at the White House podium. Leavitt's decision to leave the position is particularly unexpected, given that she had recently returned to work after the birth of her second child in May, sparking speculation about the reasons behind her sudden departure.
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.
