Karoline Leavitt, 27, has been named White House press secretary, becoming the youngest person in U.S. history to hold the role. Her appointment follows a meteoric rise in Republican circles, bolstered by her unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump and her reputation as a fierce communicator.
Leavitt’s path to the role includes a failed 2022 congressional run and a tenure as Trump campaign press secretary, where she frequently defended the former president on national platforms. She gained significant attention after clashing with CNN host Kasie Hunt, cementing her reputation as a combative and dedicated Trump ally.
Despite a demanding campaign schedule, Leavitt returned to work just days after giving birth to her son, Nicholas, demonstrating her commitment to Trump’s cause. Her social media presence showcases a mix of political advocacy and glimpses into her personal life, reflecting her unique blend of relatability and professionalism.
Trump praised her appointment, calling her “smart, tough, and a highly effective communicator,” underscoring his confidence in her ability to champion the MAGA agenda.
