Karoline Leavitt, former White House press secretary, will join Fox News as an on-air contributor starting November 1. Leavitt, 29, was the youngest press secretary in White House history and departed the administration in August. She stated she looks forward to bringing her perspective from her tenure with the Trump administration to Fox's viewers.
The move highlights the continued trend of former Trump administration officials joining conservative media outlets, particularly Fox News, and underscores the revolving door between politics and media.
Karoline Leavitt, who previously served as White House press secretary, is joining Fox News as an on-air contributor. Leavitt, 29, was the youngest press secretary in White House history and stepped down from her role in August. She is expected to begin her new position on November 1. During her tenure, Leavitt sought to influence the White House media environment by increasing control over the press pool and establishing a "new media" briefing room seat often occupied by conservative and pro-Trump figures. She frequently had clashes with reporters. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott commented that Leavitt's firsthand experience in the White House and on the campaign trail provides a distinct understanding of the current political landscape. Leavitt herself stated she would offer "the unique perspective and candor that defined my tenure with the Trump administration." Leavitt will join other former White House press secretaries Dana Perino and Kayleigh McEnany at Fox News. This move comes as Leavitt's former boss, President Donald Trump, has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Fox News's coverage of his rallies.
