Leavitt, 25, is a former White House intern and Trump campaign spokeswoman

President Donald Trump has chosen Karoline Leavitt, a 25-year-old former White House intern and Trump campaign spokeswoman, to be his next White House press secretary, according to two people familiar with the decision. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

Leavitt would replace Kayleigh McEnany, who is leaving the White House to join Fox News.

Leavitt is a controversial choice

Leavitt is a controversial choice for the position. She has been criticized for her lack of experience in government and her close ties to Trump. Some have also questioned her qualifications for the job, given her relatively young age and limited professional experience.

However, Leavitt's supporters say she is a hard worker and a quick learner. They also say she is a strong communicator and has a deep understanding of Trump's policies.

Leavitt's appointment is a sign of Trump's continued influence

Leavitt's appointment is a sign of Trump's continued influence over the Republican Party. She is a loyal supporter of the president and has been a vocal defender of his policies.

Leavitt's appointment is also a sign of the changing media landscape. The White House press secretary is no longer the only person who speaks for the president. Trump often communicates directly with the public through Twitter and other social media platforms.

Leavitt faces a number of challenges in her new role

Leavitt faces a number of challenges in her new role. She will be responsible for communicating Trump's message to the public and the media. She will also be responsible for defending Trump's policies and actions.

Leavitt will also have to deal with a hostile media environment. The media has been critical of Trump throughout his presidency, and Leavitt can expect to be a target of their criticism.

Despite the challenges, Leavitt is confident in her ability to succeed in her new role

Despite the challenges, Leavitt is confident in her ability to succeed in her new role. She said in a statement that she is "honored and humbled" to serve as White House press secretary.

Leavitt said she is "committed to providing the American people with accurate and timely information about the president and his administration." She also said she is "looking forward to working with the press to build a strong and productive relationship."
