27-year-old mom becomes youngest White House press secretary in history
Former Trump campaign staffer **Karoline Leavitt** gets top communication job after memorable CNN showdown. The young mother brings unique mix of loyalty and media-savvy approach to the role
Last friday Karoline Leavitt got a life-changing call - she would become the youngest-ever White House press secretary at age 27. The ex-ice cream stand workerʼs rise shows how quick things can change in politics
Karoline is smart tough and has proven to be a highly effective communicator
Her path wasnt typical: she skipped a college football game to apply for a White House internship which started her political journey. After working at used-car dealership she moved up to become spokesperson for various political figures
The mother-of-one made headlines this summer when she got into a heated on-air clash with CNN (that ended with her being cut off). Just 4 days after giving birth she jumped back to work when there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump in pennsylvania
- Worked as Trump campaign national press secretary
- Ran for Congress in New Hampshire about 2 years ago
- Served under former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany
- Currently youngest nominee for role since Nixons time
Her social-media shows both sides of her life - designer bags on Trump Force One next to pics of her baby in halloween costumes. Sebastian Gorka whos likely to get deputy security adviser role says shes “one of the most trusted inner-circle confidantes“ of the ex-president
The young press secretary maintains strong views: her july post at shooting range said “@joebiden come and take it“ showing her stance on gun rights. After difficult labor with her son she got a warm call from Trump and Melania who shared stories about raising their own son
