Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to Join Fox News

Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will join Fox News as an on-air contributor beginning Nov. 1, the network announced Monday.

Fox said Leavitt, 29, will provide political analysis and commentary across Fox platforms. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said Leavitt’s experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her “a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape.”

Leavitt said she looked forward to bringing her perspective as a former press secretary and “the same energy and candor that defined my tenure” to the network’s audience.

Leavitt served as President Donald Trump’s press secretary from the start of his second administration until leaving the White House in August. She had previously worked on Trump’s presidential campaign. When announcing her departure, Leavitt said the demands of the position made it difficult to devote enough time to her two young children following the birth of her daughter.

She has remained active in Trump-aligned politics, including work with the MAGA Inc. super PAC. Trump has not announced a permanent replacement for her.

Leavitt follows other former White House press secretaries into television roles. Kayleigh McEnany, who served during Trump’s first term, also joined Fox News after leaving the administration.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: A narrow unsupported wording about the scope of Leavitt's Fox role can be fixed by matching the sources' wording. - "Fox said Leavitt, 29, will provide political analysis and commentary across its news and opinion programming and other platforms.": The sources say Fox announced she will provide commentary/analysis across Fox platforms, with the Independent specifying opinion and news programs; the exact phrase "news and opinion programming and other platforms" is not fully supported as written.
