White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back against media and Democrat complaints about President Trump’s efforts to cut federal spending through recommendations from Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk. Leavitt referenced past Democratic presidents, including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, who advocated for similar cuts. She highlighted Clinton’s significant spending cuts, including reducing the federal workforce, which led to balanced budgets and reduced deficits. Leavitt’s comments were supported by Rep. Daniel Webster, who argued that the backlash against DOGE was ironic, given that Democrats once championed similar efforts, such as the U.S. Digital Service (USDS), which had limited oversight but aligned with their agenda.
