- Leavitt recently returned to the James Brady Press Briefing Room on July 16, 2026, after taking maternity leave following the birth of her second child, Viviana, in May; the intense demands of the role influenced her departure decision.

- As an influential voice within the Republican Party, Leavitt will continue supporting the administration as it works to "defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections" in her new outside advisor capacity.
