She previously served as national press secretary for his election campaign.

Donald Trump has decided on a candidate for the position of White House press secretary. It will be a person who already worked in his previous administration.

Axios writes about this.

Trump has proposed Karoline Leavitt, who previously served as national press secretary for his election campaign, for this position. Leavitt, 27, also worked as an assistant press secretary in his first administration. In 2022, she ran for Congress from New Hampshire, but lost to the incumbent Democratic senator.

In his statement, Trump called Leavitt smart and decisive, emphasizing her experience in communications. He expressed confidence that she would excel in her new role and help deliver the administration's key messages.

NPR notes that she will be the youngest press secretary in history.

Trump's new team is expected to make changes to the traditional White House press room, particularly in terms of media seating. Trump has also emphasized criticizing traditional media, focusing on alternative sources such as podcasters, bloggers, and social media influencers, reflecting his strategy for engaging with the press.
