The smallest person to hold this position
Levitt is appointed by a 27 -year -old journalist as the youngest person who has a job ever, overcoming Ronald Ziegler, who was 29 years old when he served during the era of President Richard Nixon.
Levitt at St. Anissel, a liberal art school in Manchester, New Hambshir, attended a sports scholarship. She played in the soft football team and graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in politics and communication, the first in her direct family to obtain a university degree.
In 2016, I trained in Fox News during New Hampshire Primary.
Get national news
As for the news that affects Canada and around the world, he participated in the urgent news alerts that were delivered directly when it occurs.
“The introduction in NH is how my love arose for politics and the media.” “Since then, I knew what I wanted to do for my career.”
During Trump’s first presidency, Levitte worked as a press secretary and presidential writer. When he lost his re -election in 2020, I started working as a communications director of the Republican Representative in New York Elise Stefanick.
In 2022, Levitte was nominated for Congress in the first New Hampshire area. She won the Republican nomination, but lost the general elections for Democrat Chris Papas.
Ultimately, Levitte returned to the Trump team, where he held the position of national journalist secretary during his 2024 campaign and spokesperson for his transitional team.
Judging of the job as a mother
Leavitt is the sixth consecutive working mother who occupies the job of the press secretary, where she joined President Joe Biden Karen Jean -Pierre and Jane Psaki and journalism secretaries in the first term of Trump, Kylie McNani, Stephanie Grizham and Sarah Hakabi Sanders.
She returned to work “days only” after the birth of her son, Nicholas, in July 2024.
She spoke to the governor in October, she said it was only Three days on maternity leaveAnd watching TV and relaxation at home with her new baby, when she watched Trump shoots a gathering in Bater, Pennsylvania.
“I looked at my husband and said,” I seem to go back to work. “
The next day, she returned to TV.
“Leave the child every day to go to work, it breaks your heart,” Levitt admitted in the interview. It is very difficult, physically, spiritual.
“It was easier for me to refuse to respect this work offer and enjoy last year in the peace and comfort of my previous job.”
When one of the Instagram followers asked her if she was concerned about the job demands and lost moments with her son, she shared that she was praying about her every day and that “it is very difficult but also all I know.”
What Trump said about Levitt
When Trump announced the appointment of Levitte last November, he praised her strength and intelligence.
“Caroline Levitt did a wonderful job as a national journalist in my historical campaign, and I am pleased to announce that she will work as a press secretary for the White House.”
“Caroline is smart and difficult, and it has proven that it is very effective. I have the utmost confidence that it will surpass the platform, and helps in handing our message to the American people while making America great again.”
However, she admitted that Trump’s work has difficult aspects – in particular, she had to adapt to the “Donald Trump’s sleep schedule”, as she described it, and she woke up at four in the morning only after getting about four hours of sleep every night .
What did Levit said during a briefing on Tuesday?
Regardless of the announcement that the White House will open the seats in the surrounding room for alternative forms of media and influencers, Levitte has a set of topics, including plans to reduce the Pro -initiatives, fairness, and integration, and freeze management to federal grants and loans. I also talked about eliminating funding for “transgender and use”.
She defended Trump’s executive order that eliminates the recognition of the crossing Americans, describing him as a restoration of “rational” in the face of “Wokenes”.
It also strengthened Trump’s position on immigration, and told the audience, “If you are an individual, and a foreign citizen who illegally entering into the United States of America, you are by defining him a criminal.”
During the briefing, she said that the plans of slapping Canada with definitions of punishing on Saturday are still playing, and reported that she had spoken to the president on Monday night and indicated that February 1 was “still in books” to introduce harmful duties against Canada and Mexico.
Trump initially promised 25 percent of comprehensive definitions in response to what he called the failure of both countries to reduce the illegal flow of people and drugs across the border.
She also pointed to the confrontation of the weekend last weekend with Colombia, which initially refused to return to the homeland for the migrants who were deported, but then retreated when Trump threatened the customs tariff, for example the use of definitions as a negotiating tool.

She said: “I will not apply to the president to invite foreign countries with what they should or should not do it to stay away from these definitions.”
“The president has made it clear that every nation is expected to cooperate around this world while returning its citizens to the homeland.”
When I was asked if this administration would celebrate the month of black history, she responded with: “We will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions made by all Americans, regardless of race, religion or belief, to our great country.”
