Lara Trump has hinted that Karoline Leavitt will take just a brief maternity leave after the White House Press Secretary announced her second pregnancy. 

Donald Trump's daughter-in-law addressed rumors that Leavitt, 28, will step down from her position following the expected birth of her baby girl in May 2026.

'I've seen some stories out there, Lisa, people saying, "Who's next in line?" Nobody's next in line,' Lara told Fox & Friends host Lisa Boothe.  

'It's Karoline, she can do everything.' 

Lara went on to point out that Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 60, welcomed their first child in July 2024 - amid Trump's third presidential campaign. 

'She did this, by the way, during the Trump campaign,' the My View with Lara Trump host said. 

'She was pregnant, delivered her son Niko, and then was back to work within a couple of days - on television, fighting to ensure President Trump got elected. But she's amazing.'

Lara, who is married to Trump's 41-year-old son, Eric, confidently noted that Trump has fostered a 'pro-family' environment at the White House, allowing parents to strike a healthy balance between work and raising their children.

Lara Trump (pictured on July 31), the host of My View With Lara Trump, hinted that Leavitt's maternity leave will be brief 

'We’re all going to be watching as Karoline Leavitt absolutely schools the fake news media while she’s probably eight and nine months pregnant,' she said. 

Leavitt shared that she and Riccio are expecting another baby on Friday, the day after Christmas. 

'The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for - a baby girl coming in May 2026,' the youngest press secretary in White House history wrote on Instagram. 

'My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother.' 

Like Lara, Leavitt - who ran as a Republican for Congress in New Hampshire in 2022, but lost to the Democratic incumbent - expressed gratitude to the White House, Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for 'fostering a pro-family environment.'
