President-Elect Trump chose New Hampshire native Karoline Leavitt as the new White House press secretary, making Leavitt the youngest person to be named to the role at just 27 years old.

The front-facing voice of the Trump administration will be Karoline Leavitt of New Hampshire, the president-elect announced Friday night.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Karoline Leavitt to be his White House press secretary, meaning the longtime Trump advocate will soon be the youngest White House press secretary in history, and potentially one of the administration’s most visible figures.

Karoline Leavitt won plaudits in the MAGAsphere when she was kicked off CNN for launching a tirade against one of its hosts.

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.

President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday that Karoline Leavitt will be his White House press secretary when he returns to Washington, D.C.

Leavitt, 27, currently a spokesperson for Trump’s transition, would be the youngest White House press secretary in history. Previously that distinction went to Ronald Ziegler, who was 29 when he took the position in 1969 in Richard Nixon’s administration.

Karoline Leavitt, of Hampton, will be White House press secretary for President-elect Donald Trump's new administration, Trump announced Friday night.

Leavitt will be the youngest person to ever hold the job and is expected to deliver press briefings based on Trump's statement late Friday that he has "utmost confidence she will excel at the podium."

There was no evidence of a Tucker Carlson appointment when the social media posts were made. Trump later named Karoline Leavitt to the position.

Karoline Leavitt, who gained recognition for her strong defence of Donal Trump in the media, will become the youngest White House press secretary.
