Trump picks Karoline Leavitt to be the face of the White House as press secretary

Donald Trump announced Friday that 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt will be his White House press secretary as he continues to unveil key staff.

It means the man who will be the oldest president in history at his January inauguration will have the youngest press secretary ever.

‘Karoline Leavitt did a phenomenal job as the national press secretary on my historic campaign, and I am pleased to announce she will serve as White House press secretary,’ he said.

‘Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator.

‘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.’

Insiders told DailyMail.com that there was only ever one choice to be the public face of the White House, despite last minute jockeying by the likes of Trump lawyer Alina Habba.

Leavitt was national press secretary for the Trump campaign and impressed senior advisers with combative appearances on CNN.

It’s her job if she wants it,’ was how one insider recently put it.

The role will put her under tremendous scrutiny as she handles televised briefings with the White House press corps, manages day-to-day interactions with a media intent on holding the administration to account, and appearing on TV.

Yet the 27-year-old is already a veteran political operative, having worked in the previous Trump White House, where she was a member of then Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s team.

McEnany said she was an excellent choice for the role.

‘Karoline is smart, tough, professional, and I have no doubt that she will excel at the podium,’ she wrote on X. ‘She is the perfect pick!’

As well as her White House experience, Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022.

All before becoming a mom in the summer.

‘I had just brought my new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, my three-day-old 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 home from the hospital,’ she said in a recent interview with The Conservateur.

‘And I said, ‘I’m going to turn on the television and watch the rally today.”
