Karoline Leavitt made a strange move and reposted a clip of Marco Rubio discussing what he and his wife disagree about on Katie Miller's podcast.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his wife, Jeanette Rubio, appeared on the podcast on Tuesday, and they were asked about the things they disagree on as a married couple. Karoline Leavitt reposted the clip from the Department of State’s official X account. The 28-year-old White House press secretary - who accidentally humiliated Trump as critics asked about his 'diaper' - didn’t offer any commentary as to why she reposted the video of Rubio and his wife talking about their marriage.
In the clip that Leavitt shared, the podcast host and former Trump administration official for Elon Musk’s DOGE asked Marco’s wife, “What's one thing you disagree with Marco on?” Marco immediately asked "one?" in joking disbelief, as they all burst into laughter. “That’s for episode two.” Jeanette responded, “Oh my gosh, let me see. Let’s see — just about some of the stuff he stresses on.” To which Marco joked, “Like war and peace, for example." Leavitt reposted the clip of their conversation to her X account, offering no reason for the move. It comes after a lip reader spotted Leavitt's sharp 3 words to Trump's blonde aide in a 'tense' exchange.

Continuing their marital discussion, Jeanette added, “No, but I’m talking about a personal level. I’m not talking about when it comes to the world. I mean, just things. Everything has to be scheduled. See, I’m not always scheduled about everything… I’m very spontaneous.”
“And some things are great about spontaneity, and some things are not. Like, for example, like, flights,” Rubio added, agreeing that his wife is “more spontaneous.”

“You can’t be spontaneous about a flight, right? There’s a commercial flight, it takes off at 10:05, and it’s…” he continued, before his wife jumped in, saying, “No, but three hours — three hours prior, he’s already stressing.”

Rubio detailed his attitude, saying, “If you’re prepared for the worst-case scenario in life, nothing will ever surprise you.” The couple continued to jokingly bicker back and forth about their differing attitudes toward arriving at the airport for flights.
The podcasst appearance came before the abrupt announcement on Wednesday that Leavitt, who has a shocking age gap with her older husband, will resign from her role as White House press secretary at the end of the month.
President Donald Trump was the first to report the news, branding her on Truth Social as “one of my most trusted aides,” detailing that she “will be departing her role at the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I totally understand and respect!”

The president said that she will remain one of his “top outside advisors.” Leavitt, who was hit with plastic surgery rumors as a shocking throwback photo from 2018 resurfaced online, returned from maternity leave after the birth of her second child on July 16.
She explained her reason for resigning on X, sharing, “The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life.”
It comes after an "unflattering" photo of Leavitt was suddenly removed from the internet.
