Karoline Leavitt (, LEV-it; born August 24, 1997) is an American political spokesperson who since 2025 has served as the 36th White House press secretary. A member of the Republican Party, she was the party's nominee in the 2022 election for New Hampshire's 1st congressional district. Leavitt studied politics and communication at Saint Anselm College, graduating in 2019. She interned in the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence and later became its associate director. In June 2020, Leavitt became an assistant White House press secretary. After Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election, she became a communications director for New York congresswoman Elise Stefanik. In July 2021, Leavitt announced her campaign for the United States House of Representatives election for New Hampshire's first congressional district. She established herself as a pro-Trump candidate. Leavitt won the Republican primary, but lost to Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas.
