                     APPRECIATING KAROLINE LEAVITT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 12, 2025

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, just recently, Karoline 
Leavitt gave her welcomed first press conference as White House Press 
Secretary serving with President Donald Trump.
  As a 2019 graduate from Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, 
Karoline is the youngest person to hold this critical position as the 
public voice of the President.
  Initially working as an intern in the first Trump administration, she 
later rose to assistant press secretary, followed by communications 
director for the greatly talented Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, soon to 
be the American Ambassador to the United Nations.
  Karoline most recently was the National Press Secretary on the Trump 
re-election campaign, gaining the trust of the President, where he 
stated, ``Karoline is smart, tough, and . . . a highly effective 
communicator. I have the utmost confidence she will . . . help deliver 
our message to the American people as we Make America Great Again.''
  In conclusion, God Bless Our Troops as the Global War on Terrorism 
continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more 
9/11 attacks imminent as warned by the FBI. Trump will reinstitute 
existing laws to protect American families with Peace Through Strength.
  I am grateful to have hosted legitimate President Salome 
Zourabichvili of the nation of Georgia for the Trump Inauguration as 
she protests the rigged election of president in that country.
