Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt joins Fox News as a contributor

Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has been hired by Fox News to serve as a political commentator and analyst. The network announced that Leavitt will officially begin her new role on November 1, providing her perspective on current political affairs. The network stated that her appointment is based on her unique insight into the American political landscape.

Leavitt, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump, previously stepped down from her White House position in late August. At the time of her departure, she noted that she intended to focus on her family following the birth of her second child earlier this spring. Despite leaving her administrative role, she emphasized her commitment to continuing the promotion of the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) ideology. She had previously been a frequent guest on Fox News programs during her tenure as press secretary.

Following her departure, the White House has yet to announce a successor for the position. Leavitt's transition to the news network marks a continuation of her public political career, moving from the podium of the White House to the broadcast studio of the conservative-leaning channel.
