Former U.S. President Donald Trump has appointed Karoline Leavitt as the new White House Press Secretary. The 27-year-old previously served as a prominent representative during Trump’s election campaign and is known for her steadfast loyalty to his administration’s policies and messaging.
Leavitt’s appointment marks a significant step, as she becomes one of the youngest individuals to ever hold the position. A rising star within Trump’s political circle, she has been praised for her communication skills and her ability to energize Trump’s voter base.
The decision aligns with Trump’s ongoing efforts to surround himself with loyal allies as he eyes a potential return to the White House. Leavitt is expected to play a key role in shaping the administration's media strategy and public messaging.
The appointment has drawn mixed reactions, with supporters lauding Leavitt’s dedication and critics questioning her experience for the high-profile role. However, Trump’s camp has expressed full confidence in her abilities to handle the responsibilities effectively.
This announcement comes as part of Trump’s broader efforts to consolidate his team ahead of a critical political period.
