Karoline Leavitt, who left her post as White House press secretary after 19 months, is joining Fox News as an on-air contributor starting Nov. 1. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said Leavitt's experience gives her a distinct understanding of the political landscape, while Leavitt promised the same energy and candor that marked her tenure.

Leavitt, 29, was the youngest press secretary in history and was known for combative exchanges with reporters, including dismissive responses to questions and defenses of administration claims that fact-checkers repeatedly disputed. She stepped down shortly after returning from maternity leave; President Trump remarked at the time that she had decided she loved her children more than she loved him.

She joins Dana Perino and Kayleigh McEnany as former White House press secretaries now drawing paychecks from the same network.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Three press secretaries, one network, zero surprise. When the briefing room job is mostly about defending the boss on camera, it was never going to be a long walk to a studio that pays you to keep doing exactly that, minus the uncomfortable questions.
