Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House Press Secretary, made a significant impression during her inaugural press conference on Tuesday. Conservatives across social media platforms lauded her performance, contrasting it favorably with the previous administration.

Leavitt engaged with reporters representing diverse political viewpoints for nearly an hour, fielding questions on a range of topics. Her approach garnered positive attention online, with many praising her command of the issues and her seemingly unscripted delivery.

Prominent figures like actor James Woods and Fox News contributor Joey Jones expressed their admiration for Leavitt's performance on X (formerly Twitter). Talk show host Addison Smith highlighted Leavitt's apparent lack of reliance on prepared notes, comparing it to the previous press secretaries' frequent use of binders. Outkick founder Clay Travis and James Golden, a longtime associate of Rush Limbaugh, also joined the chorus of praise.

Fox News contributor Jimmy Failla pointed out Leavitt's ability to answer questions without consulting notes, while Cassie Smedile Docksey, Vice President of Coign, emphasized the refreshing directness of Leavitt's responses.

At 27, Leavitt becomes the youngest press secretary in U.S. history, surpassing Ron Ziegler, who held the position at age 29 during the Nixon administration. Leavitt's previous roles include assistant press secretary in the first Trump administration and communications director for Rep. Elise Stefanik. She also ran for Congress in New Hampshire in 2022. Leavitt takes over from Karine Jean-Pierre, who served as press secretary during the Biden administration.
