There’s a baby boom in MAGAland. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s pregnancy announcement in December was followed not long after by a pregnancy announcement from second lady Usha Vance. Also known to be pregnant are Katie Miller, wife of Stephen Miller, and Sam Blair, wife of James Blair. While the MAGA ladies have been putting up a united front amid expanding their families, Leavitt’s awkward baby shower pics had the public tearing her and her crew to shreds recently. The press secretary’s March 25 Instagram post of the event also hints that things might be particularly strained between her and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Leavitt posted photos alongside her “beautiful friends” and fellow pregnant “strong and loving” MAGA ladies (including Miller and Blair), but from her pics, there was no trace that Bondi was even present at the event. However, Miller might have added some fuel to the fire by posting a separate photo with the AG to her X. Bondi’s business casual look was screaming “low-effort” in comparison to the other ladies and their pastel dresses, making it look like her attendance was more of a work obligation than a show of friendly support.
While there have been signs that Bondi and Leavitt are both over White House life, they might not be united on much else. Leavitt seemingly snubbing Bondi by omitting her from any photos or stories from the event could point to a potential feud brewing in Trump world.
What soured Karoline Leavitt and Pam Bondi’s relationship?
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Attorney General Pam Bondi previously maintained a seemingly positive relationship. During Bondi’s Senate Judiciary hearing in October 2025, the AG praised Leavitt, calling her “one of the most trustworthy human beings I know” (via AOL). However, it’s doubtful as to whether or not Leavitt feels the same way.
During White House press briefings in 2025, Leavitt made her best effort to explain conflicting quotes from the attorney general regarding the release of the Epstein files. One instance from July had Leavitt clarifying that Bondi’s previous claim that Epstein’s client list was “sitting right now on my desk for review” referred to the totality of the paperwork, not necessarily a list. However, when asked about whether or not President Donald Trump had asked Bondi to appoint a special prosecutor for the case, she shortly replied, “I’m not sure.”
It is possible that the press secretary sees Bondi as more of a liability than an ally at this point in their working relationship, having had to explain the AG’s shifty decisions on several occasions over the last year. Trump has also reportedly had a lot of shady things to say about Bondi behind closed doors, leaving us to wonder if Leavitt anticipates having to answer for Bondi much longer.
