  After losing to Pappas, Leavitt began working for MAGA Inc., Trump's super PAC. She was featured in a video produced for Project 2025 training political appointees on how to counter the federal bureaucracy. Leavitt began working for Trump's 2024 presidential campaign in January 2024 as his national press secretary. In December 2023, Leavitt became engaged to Nicholas Riccio, a self-made real estate developer 32 years her senior. They met each other at a restaurant during Leavitt's congressional campaign. Leavitt had a son with Riccio and named the baby after him in July 2024, days before Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump. Chris LaCivita, the campaign's co-manager, offered her a month of parental leave; Leavitt requested ten days. She returned to work hours after the assassination attempt. She married Riccio in January 2025, days before Trump's second inauguration.
