Donald Trump announced Karoline Leavitt as the incoming White House press secretary on Friday. Leavitt previously served as his campaign’s national press secretary and ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for a New Hampshire congressional seat.
Her rise follows a similar trajectory to other integrity-free Republicans. According to CNN, Leavitt worked in the first Trump White House as an assistant press secretary before leaving to become Rep. Elise Stefanik’s communications director.
