At just 27 years old, Karoline Leavitt has made history as the youngest White House press secretary in U.S. history. The former White House intern under Donald Trump is now serving in a high-profile role, representing the new generation of conservative voices in Washington, D.C.
Leavitt, who made her debut in the White House briefing room earlier this week, has already drawn attention for her bold statements and ambitious plans for the role. Echoing Trump’s inaugural speech, she declared that “the golden age of America has most definitely begun.” As a staunch conservative, Leavitt has promised to be accessible to a wide range of media outlets, including new-age voices like independent journalists, podcasters, and social media influencers.
Before stepping into her new role, Leavitt gained substantial experience working as a spokesperson for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. She previously interned at the White House and joined Trump’s team after earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics and communication. In 2022, she made headlines by becoming the first Republican from Gen Z to win a GOP primary.
Her promotion to press secretary at just 27 has made her a political trailblazer, surpassing the previous youngest press secretary, 29-year-old Ronald Ziegler, who held the position during Richard Nixon’s administration in 1969.
Leavitt is known for her unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump, who has praised her as a “smart, tough,” and “highly effective communicator.” In line with her political views, Leavitt has been outspoken about her love for firearms, sharing videos on social media showing her firing a machine gun at a range with the caption, “Joe Biden come and take it.”
In addition to her political career, Leavitt has a personal life that reflects her confidence and determination. She became a mother in July last year but didn’t take maternity leave, rejoining work just four days after giving birth. She made this decision after an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, showcasing her commitment to her role and responsibilities.
Leavitt is married to Nicholas Robert, a 60-year-old real estate tycoon who is 32 years her senior. The couple got engaged in December 2023, and Leavitt shared the news on Instagram, calling it “the best Christmas of my life.” She expressed her excitement about marrying “the man of my dreams,” and posted a heartfelt message thanking God for the blessings in her life.
As the youngest press secretary and a prominent figure in American politics, Karoline Leavitt is paving the way for Gen Z’s involvement in shaping the future of U.S. governance, while balancing her role as a new mother and wife to a successful tycoon.
