Karoline Leavitt Joins FOX News Media as Contributor

Leavitt served as the 36th White House Press Secretary during President Donald Trump’s second administration, holding the post from January 2025 through August 2026. Her career path includes a stint as national press secretary for the 2024 Trump presidential campaign and a 2022 run for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District. Before her time as a primary spokesperson, she worked as communications director for Rep. Elise Stefanik and held roles in the first Trump administration.

Scott cited Leavitt’s experience on the campaign trail and in the West Wing as key assets for the network’s political coverage. Leavitt, who previously interned at the network during the 2016 election cycle, stated she plans to bring the same energy and candor that marked her tenure as the administration's chief spokesperson to her new role. She currently resides in New Hampshire with her family.
