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.

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.
