Karoline Leavitt Joins Fox

What happened

Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is joining Fox News as an on-air contributor, providing commentary and analysis across the network’s programs. Leavitt left the press secretary job in August after saying its demands made it difficult to be the mother she wanted to be to her two young children. Trump said she was leaving to spend more time with her family. The move follows a familiar path: Trump’s former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also joined Fox after leaving the role. The announcement came amid Trump’s public criticism of Fox, including complaints about rallies and negative narratives. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said Leavitt’s experience would give viewers sharp insight. Leavitt is scheduled to begin November 1.

Left-leaning outlets framed the hire as a predictable move within Trump’s partisan media orbit, not mainly a résumé-driven television shift. The Guardian called Leavitt a “logical fit” for Fox, stressing continuity between Trump’s political operation and the network. The Daily Beast tied the job to Trump’s growing gripes with Fox while casting Leavitt as another strong advocate there.

Right-leaning outlets emphasized Leavitt’s qualifications and personal reasons, presenting the move as a natural next chapter rather than a partisan-media loop. Fox News highlighted Suzanne Scott’s view that White House and campaign experience would bring viewers distinctive insight and candor. The Daily Mail framed the transition around family needs and a next chapter. Washington Examiner stressed that her influence inside Trump’s political orbit continues after the White House.
