Who is Karoline Leavitt?

Leavitt was born in Atkinson on August 24, 1997. She pursued her college education at Saint Anselm College, graduating with a bachelor's in communications and political science.

A report by the news agency Associated Press said that Leavitt is seen as a staunch and camera-ready advocate for Trump who is quick on her feet and delivers aggressive defences of the Republican in television interviews.

In 2022, Leavitt ran for Congress in New Hampshire, winning a 10-way Republican primary before losing to incumbent Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas.

Moreover, the 27-year-old worked as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc, a super PAC supporting Trump before joining his 2024 presidential election campaign.
