Karoline Leavitt, 27, who previously served as the national press secretary for Trump’s presidential campaign, has been appointed as the White House press secretary by President-elect Donald Trump. This announcement comes after days of speculation about who would fill this prominent role in the upcoming administration.
In a statement, Trump praised Leavitt for her exceptional performance as the National Press Secretary during his historic campaign. He expressed his confidence in her abilities as a smart, tough, and highly effective communicator who will excel at the podium and help deliver the administration’s message to the American people as they work towards Making America Great Again.
Leavitt’s appointment is part of Trump’s trend of selecting younger individuals for key positions in his administration. Vice President-elect JD Vance, who is 40 years old, and the prospective Ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik, also in her 40s, reflect this pattern of choosing loyal candidates who align with the president-elect’s agenda.
Like other appointees, Leavitt has a proven track record of supporting Trump’s vision and priorities. This development adds to the evolving narrative of Trump’s presidential transition, which continues to shape the composition of his incoming administration.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
