White House press sec Karoline Leavitt reveals how she balances job demands and motherhood in sweet new post

Leavitt shared her busy schedule in the text of the Instagram Story.

“Work at white house, baby bedtime routine, & then @seanhannity at 9pm,” she wrote.

She then encouraged her followers to tune in to her appearance on Fox News Channel’s Hannity on Monday.

Leavitt isn’t new to balancing being a mom, along with her marriage to real estate developer Nicholas Riccio, with her White House duties.

She gave birth to Niko, whose full name is Nicholas Robert Riccio, on July 10, 2024.

Her maternity leave was upended when gunman Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump during his rally on July 13, 2024.

Leavitt told conservative outlet The Conservateur she had been cradling her new son when she watched the chaos unfold on TV.

“I had just brought my newborn, my three-day-old baby home from the hospital,” she recalled.

“And I said, ‘I’m going to turn on the television and watch the rally today.’”

Leavitt, who served as Trump’s campaign press secretary at the time, said the moment was jarring, but pushed her to get back to work.

“I looked at my husband and said, ‘Looks like I’m going back to work,'” she said.

Leavitt was fielding questions for Trump on Fox News just four days after she gave birth.

“I felt compelled to be present in this historic moment,” she told the outlet.

“The president literally put his life on the line to win this election.

“The least I could do is get back to work quickly.”
