Yesterday Donald Trump picked Karoline Leavitt as his next White-House press secretary - a move that puts a twenty-seven year old in charge of presidential communications. The New-Hampshire native has shown strong support for Trumps agenda during her time as transition team spokesperson
Leavitt brings experience from her previous work in the Trump administration (where she served as assistant press secretary) and later became communications director for Elise Stefanik. Her path included an un-successful but note-worthy run for Congress in 2022; which helped sharpen her public speaking skills
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
The appointment breaks records as Leavitt becomes the youngest-ever White House press secretary - taking that title from Ron Ziegler who got the job at twenty-nine during Nixons presidency. During his first term Trump had four different press secretaries: Sean Spicer‚ Sarah Sanders‚ Stephanie Grisham‚ and Kayleigh McEnany; while Biden worked with just two
Its worth noting that previous Trump press secretaries had mixed results: Sanders went on to become Arkansas governor‚ Grisham never held a briefing and McEnany moved to TV after her tenure. The role requires a careful balance - sharing information while keeping presidents trust
