Donald Trump has selected Karoline Leavitt to serve as White House press secretary. At 27, she will be the youngest person to work at that job.
Leavitt, who served as a Trump spokesperson during his just-concluded presidential campaign, worked in his first administration as assistant press secretary and in the office of presidential correspondence.
Earlier, she was communications director for Rep. Elise Stefanik R-NY, and helped manage her campaign to replace Liz Cheney as GOP conference chair.
Leavitt also mounted an unsuccessful bid for a New Hampshire Congressional seat.
She will be Trump’s fifth White House press secretary.
