Vice President J.D. Vance expressed admiration for White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt following her announcement of resignation.
In a post on X, Vance remarked that Leavitt, during her challenging time in this high-profile role, faced relentless criticism from the media.
“Caroline Leavitt had one of the toughest jobs in the administration, constantly battling against the fake news media,” Vance stated. “She managed to perform her duties with grace, creativity, and a smile.”
He expressed gratitude for Leavitt’s contributions, noting her effectiveness as a spokesperson within the administration. “She has articulated and defended the president’s policies exceptionally well, and I’m very thankful for her efforts,” he added.
Vance acknowledged the unique challenges faced by young parents in such demanding roles. “We understand how tough yet rewarding this ongoing work can be,” he mentioned.

“Serving as White House press secretary for the past year and a half has been a remarkable honor and adventure,” she said. “I am extremely thankful to President Trump for allowing me so many special moments, from working in the West Wing to spending hours in the Oval Office and meeting with world leaders.”
“Above all, I am grateful to the President for the unique privilege of speaking on his behalf from the White House podium,” she continued. “I take great pride in discussing this administration’s historic accomplishments and hold the liberal media accountable, ensuring that the American public hears the truth about President Trump’s successes.”
