Karoline Leavitt Lands One-Time The View Invite After 20 Months as White House Press Secretary

Summary
CNN and Fox News Digital reported that Karoline Leavitt has been invited to appear on ABC’s “The View” as a one-time guest, not as a host or guest host.
The invitation surfaced on Leavitt’s last official day after 20 months as White House press secretary, as she said she is stepping back to spend more time with her 2-year-old and 4-month-old children while still advising President Donald Trump.
ABC’s outreach follows a Daily Mail rumor that Leavitt was in talks to join the show in a larger role, which CNN’s Brian Stelter said was incorrect because all six co-hosts are returning for September.
The appearance would come as “The View” has reportedly pulled back on political guests after an FCC equal-time investigation tied to a February appearance by Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.
That would also mark a rare ideological crossover for the show: a Media Research Center study said only 2 of its 341 guests in 2025 were conservatives.
