U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Caroline Leavitt as the White House Press Secretary, reports the BBC on Saturday (November 16).
At just 27 years old, Caroline served as the spokesperson for Trump’s election campaign and is set to become the youngest press secretary in U.S. history.
In a statement on Friday, Trump said, “Caroline is a skilled and determined individual. She has proven her excellence in communication. I am confident she will excel in her role and help convey our message to the American people.”
Caroline joined Trump’s campaign team in January 2024. Previously, the youngest press secretary was Ron Ziegler, who assumed the role at age 29 in 1969.
Caroline will succeed Karine Jean-Pierre, who took office on May 13, 2022. Before joining the White House, Karine participated in Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and worked under him when he was Vice President during the Obama administration.
