Karoline Leavitt may soon be stepping away from her role as White House press secretary after announcing her resignation to spend more time with her growing family, but she is still making public appearances alongside President Donald Trump.

Earlier this month, the 28-year-old was seen with Trump at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where she turned heads in a striking red dress.

The press secretary wore a bright red, sleeveless midi dress featuring a collar neckline and gold embellishment at the center. She paired the look with beige pumps and carried a cream-colored tote bag. Staying true to her signature glamorous style, Leavitt wore her blonde hair down.

Leavitt has remained a prominent figure in the Trump administration, frequently making headlines for both her political role and her polished style. Even after announcing her departure, attention has remained focused on what she will do next.

On August 12, Leavitt announced that she would be leaving her position after the birth of her second child. She explained that she had struggled to balance the intense, around-the-clock demands of serving as White House press secretary with being the mother she believes her young children deserve.

Speaking briefly with reporters in the press cabin before takeoff, Leavitt said she would miss the job, “but I love my kids even more.” She also indicated that she and her family plan to remain in Washington for the time being, telling reporters, “You guys will still see me all the time.”

And while Leavitt is leaving the White House, she is not stepping away from Trump’s political orbit. Leavitt is expected to return to the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc., where she previously worked as a spokeswoman.

Trump has also said she will continue serving as one of his top outside advisers.

Donald Trump Praises Karoline On Truth Social

Trump wrote on a Truth Social post, "Our wonderful White House Press Secretary, and one of my most trusted aides, Karoline Leavitt, will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect! Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections."

He continued to praise the mom of two, adding, "Karoline has been a real leader in the White House, and has done a phenomenal job fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom, since 2018, including our Historic Re-Election Campaign of 2024. Karoline has been one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office. Thank you, Karoline, for a job well done!"

Her latest appearance alongside Trump suggests that while her White House title may soon change, Leavitt is likely to remain a familiar presence in the former president’s political world.
