President Trump lit into his own press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, with some oval office humor while signing bills on March 31st. He gripped about facing between 93 and 97 percent bad press coverage and half jokingly blamed her for it, saying maybe she is not. Cutting it, the 28-year-old Levitt stood right there with the press pool as Trump teased that she was doing a terrible job and even pulled if they should keep her around. She broke records as the youngest White House press secretary ever, kicking off with his 2024 campaign and sticking through his second, term, starting January 2025. Reporters quickly backed her up and Trump shut down any replacement talk for good. He has hyped her up before as a total star and the best in the game during chats on Fox News and Elsewhere last year. Now Leavitt is prepping for a short break on maternity leave. She announced back in December 2025, she is expecting a baby girl with husband Nicholas Richio, DuMai, 2026.

The couple already has their son, Nico, from July 2024. Trump's playful shade shows the tight bond, especially as she balances family and the briefing room spotlight before heading out for a bit. From your city, powered by AI. This is Durham News Today.
