Summary
In her final official interview Thursday, Karoline Leavitt said she has privately advised President Donald Trump on who should replace her as White House press secretary.
Leavitt said the field is crowded but argued one quality matters most: the next spokesperson must have Trump's full trust because of the close daily working relationship.
She did not identify any contenders and said the choice remains Trump's, though she hopes to stay involved until he makes a decision.
After nearly 20 months in the role, Leavitt called her exit bittersweet and said she is leaving the West Wing to spend more time with her two young children.
