Karoline Leavitt hailed as 'rock star' by conservatives after 'killing it' at first White House briefing

WASHINGTON, DC: Conservatives appear to have a new favorite in Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed Press Secretary of the Donald Trump administration, who is being called a "rock star."

The 27-year-old US Press Secretary, who made her debut at the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on January 28, 2025, took the internet by storm as Trump supporters rushed in to praise her much talked about first press conference. 

Leavitt, who also became the youngest Press Secretary in US history, received warm appreciation for her bold performance at her first-ever press conference from the national podium, as reported by Fox News.

Karoline Leavitt impresses Conservatives with her press conference debut

Dressed in a magenta suit with a gold cross dangling from her neck, Karoline Leavitt stepped onto the White House pressroom podium to answer questions from more than a dozen reporters with various political affiliations. 

Referencing the fact that Trump often speaks for himself, Leavitt explains in her briefing that, “I can assure you that you’ll be hearing from both him and me as much as possible.”

Leavitt, who took the charges from her predecessor in the former Biden Government, Karine Jean-Pierre, spoke for almost an hour on Tuesday when she took questions from various journalists. 

Soon, the social media was flooded by appreciation posts from several conservatives who praised Leavitt’s bold demeanor while answering the questions. 

The New Hampshire native, who graduated from Saint Anselm College in 2019, has been a fierce supporter of Trump throughout his campaign against former vice president Kamala Harris. 

She made her congressional run in 2022 (eventually losing the election to Democrat Rep Chris Pappas), per AP, after serving in the first Trump term as an assistant press secretary. Following her stint as an assistant press secretary, Leavitt worked as New York Republican Rep Elise Stefanik’s communications director after the 2020 election.

Karoline Leavitt called 'rock star' for her first press briefing as the press secretary

Karoline Leavitt's first White House press briefing left an impact on the Conservative supporters who flocked to social media to praise the current press secretary for her successful debut on the podium. 

Veteran actor and longtime Trump supporter James Woods took to his X account to term Leavitt a "rock star," writing, "Karoline Leavitt is a rock star. These next four years are going to be sublime." Referencing Jim Acosta's exit from CNN, Woods continued, "Never thought I would say this, but I’m going to miss seeing Jim Acosta being her piñata! Break out the popcorn. 🍿."

Coign Vice President Cassie Smedile Docksey noted, "How refreshing to have a Press Sec at the podium who can answer questions directly and without reading word for word from a script. We are so back. Congrats, @karolineleavitt !!"

Outkick founder and radio host Clay Travis chimed in, "Damn White House press secretary @karolineleavitt absolutely smoking left wing reporters."

Talk show host Addison Smith penned, "Both KJP and Jen Psaki were extremely dependent on their oversized binders jam-packed with scripted talking points. Today, @karolineleavitt took to the podium for the first time with a couple sheets of paper that she barely even glanced at. Competence is back."

'Rush On The Radio' author James Golden aka Bo Snerdley wrote, "This Press Secretary - Karoline Leavitt - is so refreshingly clear in the positions she articulates. No dancing around facts, no avoidance of questions, in contrast to the previous Press Secretary."

"Karoline Leavitt’s first White House Press Conference was entirely different than Karine Jean-Pierre’s, Karoline stepped up to the podium without a binder, knew everyone in the room’s name and had an answer for every question…albeit no nonsense answers and somewhat savage," added another supporter. 

Someone else broadly praised, "So refreshing to have a press secretary that actually answers questions and knows what they are talking about."

Leavitt even received a word of praise from Vice-President JD Vance, who wrote, "Congrats and well done to @karolineleavitt on her first press briefing. She killed it up there, and gave voice to a lot of voices in new media who are actually driving the news."
