Steve Bannon predicts Karoline Leavitt may soon become the chief of staff.
Former adviser to Donald Trump, Steve Bannon has made a bold prediction about the future of White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt in the Trump administration. Bannon thinks young Leavitt who has caught the fancy of the Americans will not be there behind the podium for long and Trump may offer her a major cabinet position. “After she’s spokesman for a year or two, I think she’s going to get a Cabinet position. Maybe chief of staff,” Bannon said in a new Politico Magazine profile.
The profile tracked Leavitt’s rise from a MAGA campaigner to White House press secretary. Bannon hosted Leavitt on his podcast several times before she became the star. But it started with Bannon’s viewers who started embracing quick-witted Leavitt.
“She was such a longshot,” Bannon said, recalling why he gave her early airtime on War Room. “She wasn’t perfect. She had a lot of rough edges. But she learned the lesson Andrew Breitbart did when he first started. He would do the most obscure talk radio in Montana and Wyoming — just do reps.”
The Politico profile revealed how Leavitt made herself noticed by Trump even when she was a student.
“As a conservative college student in New Hampshire, Leavitt had a front row seat to the political process during the 2016 Republican primary. She even made a TV cameo. On October 26, 2015, she went to a “Pancakes and Politics” town hall hosted by former Today Show host Matt Lauer. NBC’s Willie Geist passed her the microphone, announcing that this 18-year-old college student got to ask Trump the first question since she had to make it to an upcoming Spanish class,” it said.
“Mr Trump, as everyone knows, and I personally appreciate,” Leavitt started, “you’re very honest and outspoken. … What would you like to say to people who think you are too harsh to be the next president?” this was Leavitt’s question.
Trump said it was “such a great question,” and reassured her that he was a nice person — before launching into a rant about the “stupid people” running the country.
