White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt drew attention after a sharp exchange with Michael Strahan on ABC’s Good Morning America. Strahan raised concerns about federal workers, like doctors and scientists, returning to full-time office work. Leavitt countered, emphasizing that many doctors work in hospitals and that the administration’s push for in-person work promotes productivity and taxpayer accountability. Her assertive response earned praise, with some calling her a “stone-cold killer.” At 27, the youngest press secretary in history, Leavitt has also been vocal about modernizing media engagement, planning to open the press room to influencers, podcasters, and independent journalists, aiming to connect with younger audiences and break away from traditional media.
