President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary. Leavitt was the national press secretary during Trump’s recent campaign, and served as assistant press secretary in the first term.

Karoline Leavitt won plaudits in the MAGAsphere when she was kicked off CNN for launching a tirade against one of its hosts.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Karoline Leavitt to be his White House press secretary, meaning the longtime Trump advocate will soon be the youngest White House press secretary in history, and potentially one of the administration’s most visible figures.

Karoline Leavitt, President-elect Donald Trump's 27-year-old pick for White House press secretary, has had a meteoric rise since getting her break as a student assistant for Fox News during his 2016 campaign for the White House.

President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday that Karoline Leavitt will be his White House press secretary when he returns to Washington, D.C.

Karoline Leavitt, a 27-year-old New Hampshire native, will have one of the most visible jobs in the new Trump administration.

Leavitt, 27, currently a spokesperson for Trump's transition, would be the youngest White House press secretary in history. Previously that distinction went to Ronald Ziegler, who was 29 when he took the position in 1969 in Richard Nixon's administration.

President-elect Trump named Karoline Leavitt as his pick to serve as White House press secretary on Friday. The big picture: Leavitt, who served as the campaign's national press secretary, will be one of the public faces of the Trump White House,
