Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to ever hold the position of White House Press Secretary, kicked off her tenure by outlining President Trump's media strategy for his second term. Leavitt promised transparency, truthfulness, and a commitment to engaging with a wider range of media outlets, including social media influencers and independent journalists.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s Feb. 1 date for implementation of tariffs on Canada and Mexico 'still holds.'press corps, promising to speak frequently with the news media and opening up the briefing room to social media influencers and podcasters.
“While I vow to provide the truth from this podium, we ask that all of you in this room hold yourselves to that same standard.”White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt speaks during a briefing at the White House, Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, in Washington.“Millions of Americans, especially young people, have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers to consume their news from blogs, social media and other independent outlets,” she continued.
Leavitt attended at Saint Anselm College, a liberal arts school in Manchester, N.H., on an athletic scholarship. She played on the softball team and graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in politics and communication, the first in her immediate family to earn a college degree.“The NH Primary is how my love for politics and media originated,” Leavitt wrote on a post shared to her Instagram last year. “From that week on, I knew what I wanted to do for my career.
“It would have been a lot easier for me to respectfully decline this job offer and enjoy this past year in the peace and comfort of my previous job.” Still, she confessed to The Conservateur that working for Trump has challenging aspects — in particular, she’s had to adjust to the “Donald Trump sleep schedule,” as she called it, and was waking up at 4 a.m. every day after only getting about four hours of sleep every night.
