President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, will serve in the White House in the same role, Trump announced Friday.

Leavitt, 27, will be the youngest person to assume the role of press secretary, a highly visible position in which she will publicly spar with the White House press corps, according to news reports.

“Karoline Leavitt did a phenomenal job as the National Press Secretary on my Historic Campaign, and I am pleased to announce she will serve as White House Press Secretary,” Trump said in a statement. “Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator. I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American People as we, Make America Great Again.”

Leavitt previously served as an assistant White House press secretary during Trump’s first term. She also served in the Office of Presidential Correspondence. She made a failed run for Congress in 2022, and also served as a spokeswoman for New York Republican representative Elise Stefanik.

Steven Cheung, who served as Trump’s campaign press aide and primary spokesman, is expected to serve as Trump’s White House communications director. Cheung previously served on Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns and as a top communications official for the Ultimate Fighting Championship league.
