President-elect Donald Trump announced his campaign national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, will continue with him in the administration as the White House press secretary.
“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,” Trump said in a press release.
“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,” Trump’s statement continued.
Leavitt, 27, previously worked as an assistant press secretary under former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. After Trump’s departure from the executive office, she worked for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on her communications team.
