Leavitt became Trump’s top spokesperson after working as a lower-level aide during his first term and then running for Congress in 2022.

She is a key adviser and trusted voice for the president, who has showered her with praise, referring to her as “our great Karoline superstar” during a meeting last month with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, where Trump unexpectedly called upon her to offer up a defense of his economic performance.

“Karoline, the prime minister would like you to work for him in Hungary,” Trump gushed over her off-the-cuff delivery, adding, “please don’t leave us, Karoline!”
