President-elect Donald Trump has selected longtime aide and media personality Karoline Leavitt to be his White House press secretary and carry the message of his administration publicly as he returns to the Oval Office.

Leavitt has become a prominent face on the Trump team, serving as national press secretary for the campaign and now for the transition team. She is also an alum of the president-elect's first White House administration, where she worked as an assistant press secretary.

"Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator," Trump said in a statement. "I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American people."

At 27 years old, Leavitt will be the youngest person to hold the position of top White House spokesperson. The position hasn't been held by someone under 30 since former President Richard Nixon's administration in 1969. The incoming press secretary has a background on Capitol Hill, having previously worked as the communications director for New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, who Trump recently nominated to be U.N. ambassador.

"Karoline Leavitt won plaudits in the MAGAsphere when she was kicked off CNN for launching a tirade against one of its hosts..."

She's blonde, telegenic and attacks the media.

32. He hasn't nominated anyone qualified for anything

Except maybe Rubio. This is a barely functional government. Maybe we're better off that way.

Sorry, I don't think a 27 year old has the experience and savvy about life and political and economic cycles to be spokesman for president of the US. Call me ageist.
