Ever heard of Karoline Leavitt? She's just been picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be his White House press secretary. At only 27 years old, she's set to become the youngest person ever to hold this job. The previous record was held by Ronald Ziegler, who was 29 when he started in Richard Nixon's administration.

Trump thinks Leavitt is a real star. He said she did an amazing job as his campaign press secretary and that she's smart, tough, and a great communicator. He's confident she'll do a fantastic job talking to the press and helping to spread his message.

Leavitt is excited about her new role. She thanked Trump on X (formerly Twitter) and said she's honored to help "Make America Great Again. "

The job of White House press secretary is a big one. They're the face of the administration and usually have daily briefings with the press. But Trump has his own way of doing things. In his first term, he often spoke directly to the public through rallies, social media, and his own briefings. He even said he'd give the press "total access" if he was elected again.

Leavitt is no stranger to the Trump team. She's worked with him before and is known for being quick and aggressive in her defense of him on TV. She's also had other political jobs, like working for a super PAC that supported Trump and running for Congress herself.

It'll be interesting to see how Leavitt handles the job. Trump's previous press secretaries had different styles. Some argued with reporters, while others didn't hold briefings at all.
