In an exciting announcement, FOX News Media has confirmed that Karoline Leavitt, the former White House Press Secretary, will join the organization as a contributor starting November 1st, 2026. This announcement was made by the CEO of FOX News Media, Suzanne Scott, who emphasized Leavitt's expertise in the political arena.

Karoline Leavitt, who served as the 36th White House Press Secretary during the Trump administration, is recognized for being the youngest person in U.S. history to hold that distinguished position. Throughout her tenure from January 2025 to August 2026, she provided updates on numerous domestic and foreign policy matters and often engaged with the White House press corps, bringing a youthful perspective to the discussions.

Scott highlighted Leavitt's first-hand experiences, mentioning that her time on the presidential campaign trail equips her with unique insights into today’s political narratives. Leavitt expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with FOX, stating, "I look forward to bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defined my tenure, to Fox's millions of viewers across their many platforms."

Before taking on the role of Press Secretary, Leavitt held several strategic communication positions. She was the national press secretary for Trump's 2024 election campaign and previous to that, she was a congressional candidate in New Hampshire. Leavitt has also worked as a communications director for Elise Stefanik, the House Republican Conference Chair. Her involvement in political communications goes back to the early days of the Trump administration, where she served as both a presidential writer and an assistant press secretary.

Leavitt is a graduate of Saint Anselm College, where she earned her degree in politics and communication in 2019. Her connection with FOX News stretches back to her college days when she interned during the 2016 presidential election. Currently, she resides in New Hampshire with her husband, Nick, and their two children.

The addition of Leavitt to FOX News Media’s team signifies the organization’s commitment to providing comprehensive and informed commentary on pressing political issues. FOX News Media reaches nearly 200 million viewers each month across various platforms, including FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), and FOX News Digital. Being the top-rated cable news channel for over 24 consecutive years, FOX looks to leverage Leavitt’s expertise to enhance their coverage of political events and analysis moving forward.

Overall, Karoline Leavitt’s transition into a contributor role at FOX News Media marks an important moment for both Leavitt's career and the network, as they aim to deliver incisive and authentic insights in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape.
