Former Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt joins Fox News
What happened
Karoline Leavitt is joining Fox News as a contributor, starting November 1, to deliver commentary and analysis across Fox News programs. She joins a line of former White House secretaries who have transitioned to TV news punditry. Leavitt's experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of the current political landscape, according to Fox News Media Chief Executive Suzanne Scott.
Why it matters
Leavitt's move to Fox News may provide another advocate for President Donald Trump, who has been critical of negative press coverage and has a low favorability rating with the public. This development may be seen as part of a pattern of former White House officials and Trump supporters joining Fox News.
