It seems like history is repeating itself—at least for Karoline Leavitt. The Press Secretary gave birth to her first child, Niko, just days before the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life. And now, just one day after announcing her maternity leave, nine-months-pregnant Leavitt is back at work (sort of) following a third attempt.

Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, US on Saturday, April 25, 2026. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner event in Washington Saturday following a security incident at the venue.

What did the soon-to-be mom of two have to say about the terrifying events of the evening? Leavitt explains, on Instagram, “What was supposed to be a fun night with President Trump delivering jokes and celebrating free speech was hijacked by a depraved anti-Trump lunatic who sought to assassinate the President and kill as many top Trump administration officials as possible.”
View this post on InstagramLeavitt has drawn criticism for what is now an infamously omniscient quote from a pre-event interview with Fox News. “This speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump. It’ll be funny, it’ll be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room.” Of course, Leavitt wasn’t talking about literal shots at the time. But as the events unfolded, the soundbite went viral, turning into an almost eerie prediction.
One commenter wrote, “The violence must end, and this administration must end the division it has caused in this country and around the world,” and another took a somewhat softer approach, posting, “This administration caused the division, but that doesn’t mean trying to harm the president and his people is the answer.”
