“Leavitt is smart and tough and has proven to be a highly effective communicator. I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium and help deliver our message to the American People,” Trump said in a statement announcing her appointment.
The conservative from New Hampshire has been a regular presence at Trump’s side in 2024, serving as his campaign spokeswoman at his rallies, as well as his multiple court appearances.
The mother-of-one, who took nine days off to give birth to her son during the campaign in July, is a fervent believer in Trump’s “America First” anti-immigrant agenda and shares his disdain for traditional media companies.
She told a Fox News podcast posted online on Friday that she had spent the campaign “battling a lot of ‘fake news’ reporters. I hate to call them that, but it’s true.”
“There are a lot of journalists who aren’t interested in journalism anymore, and we deal with them every day,” she added.
