Just 30 minutes ago, devastating news broke from Atkinson, New Hampshire, concerning the family of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. At the young age of 28, Leavitt has been a prominent figure in political circles, known for her sharp communication skills and steadfast dedication. However, the latest announcement from her family has left supporters and colleagues reeling: Karoline Leavitt’s mother, Susan Leavitt, is currently in critical condition following a tragic accident.

According to a heartfelt statement released by the Leavitt family, Susan, aged 55, was involved in a severe car collision earlier this evening on Route 121 in Atkinson. Emergency responders rushed her to Parkland Medical Center, where she is now in the intensive care unit, fighting for her life. Medical staff have described her condition as “gravely unstable,” with multiple injuries requiring immediate surgery. The family has asked for privacy but chose to share the news with Karoline’s followers, who have admired her strength and poise in the public eye.

Karoline, who was in Washington, D.C., preparing for a press briefing, is said to have immediately left for New Hampshire upon receiving the news. A close aide to the press secretary shared, “Karoline is devastated but determined to be by her mother’s side. She’s grateful for the support pouring in.” Social media has erupted with messages of hope and prayers, with hashtags like #PrayForSusan and #LeavittStrong trending among her supporters and political peers alike.

Susan Leavitt has been a pillar of support for Karoline, often described as her daughter’s biggest cheerleader during her rapid rise in politics. Known in Atkinson for her community involvement and warm demeanor, Susan has touched many lives. The family’s statement expressed deep appreciation for the community’s response, saying, “Susan has always been the heart of our family, and we ask for your prayers as she faces this battle.”

The accident comes at a busy time for Karoline, who has been navigating high-stakes press duties amid a turbulent political climate. Despite the demands of her role, she has often spoken about her close bond with her mother, once noting in an interview, “My mom taught me resilience and grace under pressure.” Now, as Susan fights for recovery, the Atkinson community and beyond are rallying around the Leavitts.

Local residents are organizing a prayer gathering tonight outside Parkland Medical Center, and an online fundraiser has been launched to help with medical expenses. The Leavitt family has promised to provide updates as Susan’s condition evolves. For now, the focus remains on her recovery, with hopes that she can overcome this tragic ordeal.
