Conservatives on social media praised newly minted White House<\/a> press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s performance in her first press conference on Tuesday and made the case that her tenure would be a welcome change from the previous administration’s.<\/p>\n

Leavitt stepped to the White House pressroom podium on Tuesday and answered questions from more than a dozen reporters with various political affiliations and spoke for almost an hour on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

As Leavitt addressed the media, conservatives on social media reacted with positive reviews of her handling of the questions and the variety of reporters she called on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Karoline Leavitt is a rock star,” actor James Woods posted on X<\/a>. “These next four years are going to be sublime.”<\/p>\n

“Well @karolineleavitt is certainly up for the job,” Fox News contributor Joey Jones posted on X<\/a>. “Impressive, but not surprising.”<\/p>\n

“Both KJP and Jen Psaki were extremely dependent on their oversized binders jam-packed with scripted talking points,” talk show host Addison Smith posted on X<\/a>. “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.”<\/p>\n

“Damn White House press secretary @karolineleavitt absolutely smoking left wing reporters,” Outkick founder and radio host Clay Travis posted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This Press Secretary – Karoline Leavitt – is so refreshingly clear in the positions she articulates,” Rush Limbaugh’s longtime friend and producer, James Golden, posted on X<\/a>. “No dancing around facts, no avoidance of questions, in contrast to the previous Press Secretary.”<\/p>\n

“Karoline Leavitt is 30 minutes into a Press Briefing and she hasn’t looked up a single answer yet,” Fox News contributor and comedian Jimmy Faila posted on X<\/a>. “KJP would have gone through three binders and a Magic 8 Ball by now. THIS is why people wanna ditch DEI for Meritocracy.”<\/p>\n

“How refreshing to have a Press Sec at the podium who can answer questions directly and without reading word for word from a script,” Coign Vice President Cassie Smedile Docksey posted on X<\/a>. “<\/strong><\/i>We are so back.”<\/p>\n

Leavitt, 27, is the youngest press secretary in the nation’s history, surpassing President Richard Nixon\u2019s press secretary, Ron Ziegler, who was 29 when he took the same position in 1969. Leavitt was a fierce defender of Trump throughout his campaign against former Vice President Kamala Harris and also made her own political mark with a congressional run in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leavitt served in Trump\u2019s first administration as\u00a0assistant press secretary before working as New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik\u2019s communications director after the 2020 election. She launched a congressional campaign in her home state of New Hampshire during the 2022 cycle, winning her primary but losing the election to a Democrat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leavitt picked up the torch of press secretary<\/u><\/a> from the Biden administration’s chief spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre.\u00a0<\/p>\n
