White House deputy press secretary exits for OnMessage Public Strategies

White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson is leaving for OnMessage Public Strategies, states a post on The Hill. She joined the White House in May 2025 as deputy press secretary and, in January, added special assistant to the president to her title.

“Abby Jackson is one of the best communicators in Republican politics, and she’s played an invaluable role on my team, working closely with senior administration officials to shape press coverage, and deliver President Trump’s message at the highest level,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “But what truly sets Abby apart is her character. She’s a workhorse and someone you can always count on to get the job done.”

Axios was the first to report on her departure. Her last day will be Aug. 7.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called her a “communications powerhouse.“

“She has skillfully spearheaded messaging on many of the Administration’s most critical and celebrated policy initiatives and has earned universal praise and admiration from her peers and colleagues,” Miller said in a statement.

“Previously, reports The Hill, Jackson was the deputy communications director for the Republican National Committee. She also spent years working for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), working her way up from press secretary to deputy chief of staff and communications director.

Jackson also served as deputy press secretary for former Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) and was a rapid response specialist for Donald J. Trump for President Inc.

“President Trump is the greatest President of my lifetime – it’s been a tremendous honor to work for his Administration and alongside such talented colleagues on behalf of the American people,” Jackson wrote on the social platform X.

“Looking forward to this next chapter!”
