Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person ever to serve as White House press secretary, is joining Fox News as a contributor. The network made the announcement Monday, and her new role begins November 1. She’ll provide commentary across both opinion and news programming.
Leavitt, 29, stepped down from the White House in May after the birth of her second child, citing a desire to spend more time with her children. Now, roughly six months later, she’s returning to the public eye in a different capacity: instead of fielding questions from reporters, she’ll be offering her own perspective on the issues of the day.
Her move reflects a long-running pattern in American media and politics, where former administration officials transition into commentator roles on cable news. For local viewers who follow national political coverage, Leavitt will be a familiar face in a new setting.
What do you think about the revolving door between politics and cable news? We’d love to hear your take.
