It's not every day that you see a 27-year-old woman take on the role of White House press secretary. But for Karoline Leavitt, it's just another day of making history. After serving as a spokeswoman for President-elect Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, she has now been appointed to one of the most prestigious communication jobs within the administration.
Trump himself announced the news on a Friday evening, praising Leavitt for her exceptional work as the National Press Secretary during his historic campaign. He described her as smart, tough, and an effective communicator, expressing his utmost confidence that she will excel at the podium and help deliver their message to the American people as they continue to Make America Great Again.
But who is Karoline Leavitt? Born and raised in New Hampshire, she has been a longtime aide to Trump and has also worked on Capitol Hill. She even served as the communications director for Republican Rep Elise Stefanik, who has been nominated by Trump to be the ambassador to the United Nations. Leavitt holds a bachelor's degree in politics and communication from Saint Anselm College.
In addition to her political career, Leavitt also ran for a congressional seat in her home state and won the Republican primary. However, she ultimately lost to a Democratic incumbent in the blue state. During Trump's first term, Leavitt worked for him as a presidential writer and an assistant press secretary under Kayleigh McEnany, who was 36 at the time.
With her appointment as White House press secretary, many are wondering if Leavitt is the youngest to ever hold the position. The answer is yes, as a member of Gen Z, she will be the youngest in US history. The last person to come close was Ron Ziegler, who served as former President Richard Nixon's press secretary at the age of 29 in the 1970s.
As Leavitt walks into a courtroom behind ex-President Trump to attend his criminal trial at the New York State Supreme Court, she is ready to take on this new role with confidence and determination. And as she speaks to the media across the street from the trial, it is clear that she is more than capable of handling the challenges that come with such a prestigious position.
