New Family and New Business

The married mom announced on March 31 that she is expecting a second child, another baby boy, this fall; she and husband Sam Klingsporn married in July 2022 and welcomed son Isaiah Samuel on August 14, 2023. Nelson plans to leave the White House to start Cornerstone Strategics, a media relations and public affairs firm.

High Praise and a Rapid Rise

Karoline Leavitt lauded Nelson as the "best booker in the business" and said the company's name was inspired by her faith. Nelson's career includes roles on Trump’s campaign communications, a stint as director of media affairs for a conservative microblogging site (2021–2023) and a return to the campaign by November 2023. Her departure follows other recent exits, which critics say signal behind-the-scenes turmoil.
