Leavitt to join Trump's super PAC after leaving White House

Karoline Leavitt spent two years standing behind a podium defending Trump to a press corps that never wanted to hear it. Now she's heading to MAGA Inc., the super PAC that exists to keep his political operation funded and running long after this term ends. That's not a scandal, it's just how Washington works, and pretending otherwise is silly.

Still, it's worth noticing how normal this has become on both sides of the aisle. Press secretaries and top aides cycle out of government and straight into the machinery that keeps their old boss in power. Nobody blinks anymore. We're not accusing Leavitt of doing anything improper here. She's good at her job, she believes in the cause, and MAGA Inc. clearly wants that skill set. But the revolving door between the podium and the PAC deserves at least a raised eyebrow, especially from people who spent the Biden years complaining about exactly this kind of insider shuffling.

What actually matters is whether it works. Trump's political future, and the movement's staying power past him, depends on disciplined messaging and money that knows how to spend itself wisely. Leavitt has shown she can take a punch from a hostile room and give one back sharper. If MAGA Inc. is smart, they'll use that instead of just parking her behind a title. Talent like that is wasted if it just becomes another name on a donor letter.
