Trump says Karoline Leavitt resigning as White House press secretary - CNBC

For Lubbock voters deeply tuned into national politics, this shake-up directly impacts the upcoming midterm elections. Trump indicated Leavitt will transition into one of his "top outside advisors," specifically working with the Republican Party to influence campaigns. Her new position aims to mobilize support and shape messaging for November, potentially altering how national political discussions reach our local news feeds and living rooms across the South Plains. This shift means a key communications role now opens up while Leavitt takes on a different, influential campaign strategy. Her brief tenure as press secretary, interrupted by maternity leave, now gives way to a direct campaign role just months before an important election.
