- Karoline Leavitt will leave her White House press secretary role at the end of the month, Trump announced on Wednesday.
- Trump loses one of his most trusted advisers ahead of November's midterm elections.
Why it matters: Trump is losing his lead communicator weeks before midterm elections, when daily press strategy matters most for shaping coverage of his record. Whoever replaces Leavitt inherits a press corps relationship Leavitt built over the administration's run, with little time to establish a comparable rapport before voters head to the polls.
