Karoline Leavitt, President-elect Donald Trump’s 27-year-old pick for White House press secretary, has had a meteoric rise since getting her break as a student assistant for Fox News during his 2016 campaign for the White House.
After serving as an assistant press secretary during Trump’s first stint as president, she is set to return as the youngest person ever in the high-pressure top press job.
Leavitt “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,” Trump said in a statement announcing her appointment.
