Karoline Leavitt, Youngest White House Press Secretary, Will Make Her Debut In The Briefing Room
Karoline Leavitt , the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary, will make her debut in the briefing room on Tuesday.
Her first briefing is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.
The James S. Brady Press Briefing Room was the site of clashes between spokespeople and journalists during President Donald Trump's first term. Trump, a Republican, also made frequent appearances there himself during the coronavirus outbreak.
It's unclear how often Leavitt, 27, plans to hold briefings. Trump had four press secretaries during his first administration, Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham and Kayleigh McEnany, and Grisham never held a briefing, while the others were more frequent presences behind the podium.
Leavitt was a spokesperson for Trump's campaign and transition , and he said she did "a phenomenal job" when he announced in November that she'd be his White House press secretary.
