前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家专访时，坦诚评价了继任者短暂的任职经历，并透露她正在为总统挑选下一任新闻秘书提供建议。
新罕布什尔州曼彻斯特——前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特表示，在唐纳德·特朗普总统的首位提名人选仅任职五天后，她正在协助特朗普挑选下一任新闻秘书。
“我已经向总统提出提供帮助，帮他挑选一位能很好地为他和国家服务的人选，”莱维特周三晚间在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时说道。
莱维特在特朗普第二任期伊始担任总统新闻秘书，直至8月27日辞职，以便有更多时间陪伴她的两个年幼孩子，其中包括5月出生的女儿。
她的继任者、政治评论员凯蒂·扎卡里亚于本月早些时候上任，但仅任职五天，成为美国历史上任职时间最短的白宫新闻秘书。

“白宫新闻秘书是一份艰难的工作。我知道这一点，因为我确实做过这份工作，显然做了近两年，很多人都说这是政坛最辛苦的工作之一，”莱维特强调道。
她指出，这份工作“需要大量准备工作，有时直到某人上台履职，你才会知道他们的表现如何”。
“我们祝凯蒂一切顺利。这份工作显然不适合她，但我们还是祝她和她的家人一切安好，”莱维特补充道。
当被问及特朗普接下来会选择谁担任该职位时，莱维特表示，总统“仍在考察人选。有很多人想要这份工作。这是一份了不起的工作，能为你提供绝佳的机会”。

当被问及她向特朗普提供了哪些建议时，莱维特说：“我会将与总统的私人磋商保密，但我显然会和他讨论这份工作的职责，而他对此非常了解。”
“没有人比唐纳德·特朗普更了解媒体。他知道他需要一个强硬、聪明、了解他的政策、忠诚，并且能挺身而出进行抗争的人，”她补充道。
莱维特是新罕布什尔州本地人，2019年从圣安塞尔姆学院毕业后，曾在特朗普白宫实习。她后来在特朗普第一任期结束时担任白宫新闻秘书助理。
特朗普在2020年总统大选失利后，莱维特担任纽约州共和党众议员伊莉斯·斯特凡尼克的通讯总监。随后，她担任支持特朗普的超级政治行动委员会MAGA Inc.的发言人，之后出任特朗普2024年总统竞选团队的新闻秘书。
2024年大选后被任命为白宫新闻秘书后，莱维特成为该职位有史以来最年轻的任职者。

莱维特还在2022年竞选国会席位，在新罕布什尔州第一选区竞争激烈的共和党初选中胜出，但在大选中输给了现任民主党众议员克里斯·帕帕斯。
当被问及当民主党参议员玛吉·哈桑2028年寻求连任时，她是否可能在家乡州再次竞选公职时，莱维特迅速回答：“不，我已经打算好了。我目前或未来都没有任何竞选公职的计划。”

“我现在在家陪伴家人，我们对此感到非常兴奋，”她解释道。“目前我真的专注于做一个妻子和母亲，照顾我的两个年幼孩子。这就是我决定离开华盛顿的原因。所以我们很高兴能回到家乡，享受这段时光。”
莱维特将于11月初正式成为福克斯新闻特约撰稿人。

Leavitt opens up on helping Trump find new press secretary after Zacharia debacle: ‘Wasn’t for her’

Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a Fox News Digital exclusive, offers candid verdict on successor’s short-lived stint as Trump’s press secretary and shares that she’s advising the president as he picks another successor.
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says she is helping President Donald Trump choose his next press secretary after his first pick for the job lasted just five days.
“I’ve offered my help to the president to help him select someone who can serve him and the country well,” Leavitt said Wednesday evening in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
Leavitt served as Trump’s press secretary from the start of the president’s second term until Aug. 27, when she stepped down from the demanding role to spend more time with her two young children, including a daughter who was born in May.
Her successor, political commentator Katie Zacharia, took over earlier this month, but lasted just five days in the role, making her the shortest-serving White House press secretary in U.S. history.

“White House press secretary is a tough job. I know that because I did it, obviously for almost two years, and many people say it’s one of the hardest jobs in politics,” Leavitt emphasized.
She noted that the job “takes a lot of preparation and sometimes you don’t know how someone will perform until they go out there.”
“We wish Katie the best. The job obviously was not for her, but we wish her and her family well,” Leavitt added.
When it comes to whom Trump will choose next for the position, Leavitt said the president “is continuing to look over options. There’s a lot of people who want that job. It’s an amazing job. It provides you with incredible opportunities.”

Asked what advice she’s offered to Trump, Leavitt said, “I’ll keep my private counsel to the president private, but I do obviously talk to him about what the job entails, and he knows it very well.”
“Nobody understands the press better than Donald Trump. He knows he needs someone who is tough, who is smart, who understands his policies, who is loyal, and who can go out there and put up a fight,” she added.
Leavitt, a New Hampshire native, served as an intern in the Trump White House after graduating from Saint Anselm College in 2019. She later became an assistant White House press secretary at the end of Trump’s first term.
After Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election, Leavitt worked as communications director for Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York. She then served as spokeswoman for the Trump-aligned super PAC MAGA Inc. before taking over as press secretary for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
After being named White House press secretary following the 2024 election, Leavitt made history as the youngest person ever in the role.

Leavitt also ran for Congress in 2022, winning a heavily contested GOP nomination in New Hampshire’s 1st District before losing the general election to incumbent Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas.
Asked if she might make another run for public office in her home state when Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan is up for re-election in 2028, Leavitt quickly said, “No, I’m all set. I don’t have any plans to run for office in the near future at all, or in the future at all.”

“I am home with my family, and we’re really excited about that,” she explained. “Right now I’m really focused on being a wife and a mother to my two very young children. That’s why I made the decision to leave Washington. So we’re just happy to be home and enjoying the ride.”
Leavitt officially becomes a Fox News contributor at the start of November.
