Departing WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt Invited to Be a Guest on ‘The View’: Report
Mediaite ^ | 08/27/2026 | Sarah Rumpf

Posted on 08/27/2026 2:59:18 PM PDT by DFG

Next stop for Karoline Leavitt after leaving the White House? Pulling up a chair next to the ladies who co-host ABC’s The View.

On Thursday, the Daily Mail reported Leavitt was “in secret talks to join” The View, but CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter swiftly shot down the “implication” of the Mail’s headline as “false.”

Leavitt was not going to officially join the show as a co-host, wrote Stelter, but simply had been invited to make a one-time appearance as a guest.

Stelter called having Leavitt on The View a “no-braining booking move,” as the show “frequently tries to book political newsmakers.” It was an “expected” decision to invite Leavitt due to her high-profile gig with the White House, Stelter added, but this specific administration’s “rocky relationship” with the show’s network added some extra drama.

President Donald Trump announced earlier this month Leavitt would be leaving her gig as White House Press Secretary. In a social media post, Leavitt expressed how she was “incredibly grateful” to the president for the opportunity, calling it “the honor and adventure of a lifetime.” Reactions mostly lined up with partisan affiliations, with Fox News and Republicans praising Leavitt’s tenure and Trump’s critics bashing her “lies and gaslighting.”

Leavitt, who recently gave birth to her second child, will remain in an advisory role to the administration and return to work for the Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc. Her replacement has not yet been announced publicly, but CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings is among those rumored to be in the running.

She’s stepping down to spend time with her children, not the national brats of television. No thanks.

I thought Leavitt was leaving her job at the White House to take care of her small children.

Me too. Let’s see how fast this turns into a dumpster fire.

Didn’t Alyssa Farrah-Fawcett used to be in Trump’s administration? I’m not suggesting Leavitt she might go full automatic Libtard like Alyssa or Greg Bovino but at this point nothing would surprise me.

"Karoline will destroy them..."

The shrews won't let her get a word in edgewise. They'll shriek over her in unison so she's completely drowned out. That's the norm for them. She'd be nuts to go into that den of iniquity.

“I thought Leavitt was leaving her job at the White House to take care of her small children.”

She’s taking another job — something like a think tank, IIRC — that will give her more time with the kids.

Me too. I suppose The View approached her, but how did this story get out? Is Karoline putting herself out there as being available for paid appearances? That’s not spending time with children.

"I thought Leavitt was leaving her job at the White House to take care of her small children."

It says as a "guest," not as a full-time co-host.

She’s not even 30 yet, she’s still living with the hormone storm after childbirth, she married a guy who will most likely die 30 years before she does...

I don’t know... I have experience with crazy women her age, and this is exactly how they act. “No, don’t be silly, I’m not going to do that.” And then they do exactly that, and then dare you to do something about it.

I think she can well handle it, but at this point, what does it really matter?
