Karoline Leavitt is a prominent figure in politics. However, you may have mistaken the details. She’s actually been a Communications Director and Press Secretary for notable Republicans, but she was not the youngest woman ever to serve as the White House press secretary.
Born in 1996, Leavitt is a New Hampshire native who developed an interest in politics at a very young age. She graduated from St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, with a Bachelor of Arts in Politics.
Leavitt served as the Communications Director for Congressman Elise Stefanik who is a congresswoman from New York. Prior to her role with Stefanik, Leavitt served in President Donald Trump’s administration as Assistant Press Secretary, a position often associated with the White House press office.
Leavitt has gained further attention as she announced in July 2021 that she would run for Congress as a Republican in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District in the 2022 midterm elections.
But as of the information available to this date, the youngest woman to serve as the White House press secretary was Dee Dee Myers. She served as White House Press Secretary under President Bill Clinton and took on the role at the age of 31.
