There was no formal meeting and no big announcement, just a brief phone call.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump informed her she had the job in a simple post-election call, telling her: “Oh, by the way, you know, you’re going to be the White House press secretary, right?”
Speaking at a Turning Point USA event at George Washington University on Thursday evening, Leavitt described the moment as “the most anti-climatic thing ever” and said the job offer came without any formal process.
“About a week after the election, we were on the phone about something, the president and me, just chit chatting,” Leavitt said.

“And it was the most anti-climatic thing ever. He goes, ‘Oh, by the way, you know, you’re going to be the White House press secretary, right?’” Leavitt said, to which she responded, “Oh, okay.”
“And he said, ‘So about that other thing, what do you think about that? What should we do? What should we say?’”

“That was it. That’s how I got the job,” she said.
Leavitt added there was “no pomp and circumstance,” describing the moment as “true Donald Trump fashion.”
Leavitt said she had worked on Trump’s 2024 campaign after losing her congressional race in New Hampshire and was serving as a spokesperson before being tapped for the role following the election.
“There really wasn’t a process,” Leavitt said. “I thought, I hope I’ll get a job. I don’t know if I will.”
Leavitt, who gave birth to her son in July 2024, is currently nine months pregnant with a girl.
