At the age of 27 she is the youngest spokeswoman for the press of an American president in history. During her debut on the desk in the White House, Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that she also wanted to open the press room for tictokers, bloggers and podcaster and made room for “new media”.
The ultra-conservative representative of Generation Z is therefore in line with her 78-year-old Chef Donald Trump, who wants to confuse American politics and media landscape.
“Revolutionary media strategy”
After Trump, during his triumph march in the election campaign, had largely concentrated on the online networks and podcaster and criticized the traditional media, Leavitt now announced that it would take over his “revolutionary media strategy”.
Thanks to President Trump, she was “very proud to open this room for new mediamos,” said the 27-year-old. “Whether you are a maker of content on Tikkok, a blogger, a podcaster – if you produce legitimate news content (…), you can request a press accreditation for this White House.”
“Intelligent and Tough”
However, some things will not change in Trump’s second term. Leavitt admitted that the former reality TV star Trump would usually be in the spotlight. “The president is the best spokesperson who has the White House,” she said at her first press conference in the White House after his arrival of Trump. “And I can assure you that you will hear as much as possible from both of us.”
Before Leavitt took over her new task, Leavitt had maintained her public appearance. Her social media profiles show a mix of snapshots from the lives of a young, working mother and clips from her performances on the conservative TV station Fox News, in which she attacks “fake news” media.
Leavitt is “intelligent, tough” and “will shine on stage,” Trump said when he appointed her shortly after his election victory in November.
Jumping in the House of Representatives did not make it
Leavitt has been a loyal Trump supporter for years. She grew up in the state of New Hampshire on the east coast, where her parents serve an ice cream parlor. In 2017 she wrote a letter to the newspaper of her university to protest against a professor who criticized Trump during class.
Eight years later a meteorite climb is behind her – which she also owes her aggressive defense of her current boss.
After listening to his press team in the first term from Trump, Leavitt ran in vain for a chair in the congress of her home in 2022 with advertising for Trump and possession of weapons. At that time she showed a message in the online service of Instagram with a machine gun and the line “@joebiden, come and understand it”.
With loyalty to the “Wonder Woman”
Her heavy appearance on television, while Trump’s election campaign 2024 finally brought her job as a spokeswoman. In a remarkable change of words, a CNN journalist broke off the interview with Leavitt when she criticized the selection of the channel for the TV duel between Trump and President Joe Biden.
Her loyalty is so steadfast that she went back to work four days after the birth of her first child when Trump survived a murder attack in June. “I looked at my husband and said,” It looks like I had to go back to work, “Leavitt said in an article entitled” Wonder Woman “.
The young woman with the long blonde hair causes rudder. The conservative commentator Mary Rook commented on a photo that shows Leavitt and two employees with a similar hairstyle with the words: “Now the era of Blonde finally starts.”
Wear on press spokes under Trump 1
In her first briefing, Leavitt looked routine and safe in exchange with the media. In contrast to her predecessor, the spokeswoman of Joe Biden Karine Jean-Pierre, she came out without the thick map, in which speakers often have important notes.
She also escaped the fate of Trump’s very first spokesperson Sean Spicer, who was on his first briefing that the crowd for the capitol was the largest in the history of the US in the inauguration of Trump and thus made a merciful forever.
Spicer followed three other speakers in the first term of Trump – one of them, Stephanie Grisham, did not even appear in the press room.
