Donald Trump has appointed 27-year-old Caroline Leavitt as the new White House press secretary. She broke Ron Ziegler's record, becoming the youngest person to hold this position in US history.
On Friday, November 15, President-elect Donald Trump chose his spokesperson. It was 27-year-old Caroline Leavitt, who won Trump's favor with her strong statements in his defense in the media. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

According to the newspaper, Donald Trump called Leavitt smart and tough, and said that she “has proven to be a very effective communicator.
I am absolutely confident that she will succeed at the podium and help deliver our message to the American people as we want to make America great again,
It is known that Caroline Leavitt served as a national press secretary for his campaign. She was also an assistant press secretary during Trump's first term in the White House.
