Leavitt says she'll return to MAGA Inc. after White House
Published in Political News
WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she will return to MAGA Inc., the president’s super political action committee, when she leaves her post later this month.
Leavitt told reporters about her plans on Friday as she traveled with President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One to a rally in South Carolina.
Leavitt announced earlier this month that she would step down from her role as press secretary, one of a number of high-profile White House departures ahead of November’s midterm elections. These exits come as Trump faces low approval ratings spurred by voter discontent with his economic policies and the Iran war and as his Republican Party faces a tough path to retain control of Congress.
Leavitt was a junior spokeswoman during Trump’s first term as president. She later worked at the president’s super PAC before returning to his 2024 campaign. Trump has yet to name a successor for press secretary.
MAGA Inc. has been a fundraising juggernaut, with a war chest that grew to nearly $404 million in July. Despite those deep coffers, the group has spent little of its savings to influence elections on behalf of Republican candidates in the current election cycle.
