Trump names Karoline Leavitt White House press secretary

Newsman: President-elect Donald Trump  named Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary, on Friday.

Karoline Leavitt, a 27-year-old New Hampshire native  served as a spokesperson for the Trump 2024 presidential campaign. She will be the youngest White House press secretary ever.

“Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator,” Trump said in a press release. “I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American People as we, Make America Great Again.”

Leavitt interned at the White House during Trump’s first administration. At the White House, Leavitt worked as a presidential writer and assistant press secretary under McEnany.

She joined Trump’s team after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics and communication from Saint Anselm College. In 2022, Leavitt ran for Congress in New Hampshire. She won the GOP primary at the age of 25, but lost to the Democratic incumbent.

Ron Ziegler, who at 29 years old was named President Richard Nixon’s press secretary in 1969, was previously the youngest to hold the position.
