Trump Names Karoline Leavitt as White House Press Secretary
President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Karoline Leavitt, a key spokesperson from his 2024 campaign, will serve as his White House press secretary. Leavitt, who has a strong background in media and communications, previously worked as assistant press secretary during Trump’s first term.
Leavitt’s appointment has been met with widespread approval from conservatives. Many view her as a tough, loyal defender of the president. Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, expressed his support on social media, calling her “tough, smart, and loyal.” MAGA internet personality Nick Sortor also praised the pick, noting that Leavitt “pulls no punches” and will likely shake up the press briefing room.
In his statement announcing the appointment, Trump praised Leavitt’s effectiveness, calling her a “highly effective communicator” and expressing confidence that she would excel in her new role. “Karoline did a phenomenal job as the National Press Secretary on my Historic Campaign,” Trump said. “I am pleased to announce she will serve as White House Press Secretary. She is smart, tough, and will help deliver our message to the American people as we Make America Great Again.”
Leavitt’s appointment marks a continuation of Trump’s strategy to surround himself with loyal, media-savvy allies for his second term in office.
