The Face of the White House – At 27: How Caroline Leavitt Became One of the Most Prominent Voices in the Trump Administration

Caroline Leavitt, the 27-year-old White House press secretary, announced her resignation after two years, but will remain a senior adviser to President Trump. She is considered very close to Trump and faced a skeptical press. The article quotes Ariel Sander and Matthew Boyle praising her abilities. Leavitt is the youngest press secretary in history.

Caroline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, announced last night (between Wednesday and Thursday) her intention to leave the role after two years, but she will remain a senior adviser to President Trump, to whom she is considered very close. Leavitt, 27, is the youngest person in history to hold such a senior position in Washington. She began her career as an assistant press secretary under Kayleigh McEnany in her early twenties. During her tenure, she faced a skeptical press and the challenge of representing a president who sometimes prefers to be his own spokesman. Ariel Sander, director of the Republican Party's office in Israel, praised her: "She is a very young and ambitious girl... she has the ability to give an answer on almost any topic relevant to the president." Matthew Boyle, White House correspondent for Breitbart News, said: "She is totally living in the Trump era... opening the briefing room to more and more people was a huge success." Leavitt noted that she cannot be the best mother to her children while in the role. Her legacy is expected to remain even after she leaves.
