Karoline Leavitt, at 27, has become the youngest White House Press Secretary in history, marking a significant shift in the administration’s media engagement. In her inaugural briefing, she announced the restoration of over 400 press passes revoked during the previous administration, signaling a commitment to transparency and broader media access.
Departing from traditional practices, Leavitt opened the briefing room to independent journalists, podcasters, and social media influencers, aiming to diversify the sources of information and engage with a wider audience.
During the briefing, Leavitt emphasized President Trump’s executive orders targeting illegal immigration and criticized former President Joe Biden’s policies, particularly highlighting the inflation and high prices of eggs during Biden’s presidency.
Leavitt’s assertive approach and willingness to engage with a broader spectrum of media outlets reflect a strategic shift in the administration’s communication strategy, aiming to reach and resonate with a more diverse audience.
