The elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, has appointed Karoline Leavitt as the White House Press Secretary. Trump praised Leavitt as a "smart, tough person who has proven to be a very effective communicator."
Karoline Leavitt, 27 years old, becomes the youngest person in history to hold the position of White House Press Secretary. Prior to this appointment, Leavitt served as a spokesperson for the Republican campaign.
Leavitt comes from a middle-class family involved in business in the state of New Hampshire. She studied Communications and Political Science at Saint Anselm College and interned at Fox News, as well as in the White House press office during Trump's first term.
In the political arena, she secured the Republican nomination for New Hampshire's first congressional district in 2022, although she did not win the general election against Democrat Chris Pappas.
