White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has publicly stated her intention to continue expressing her Christian faith from the podium, citing the legacy of conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a motivating factor.
Leavitt, who is a devout Roman Catholic, has spoken about the importance of her faith in her professional life. She has said that she prays before each press briefing for confidence and clarity. She believes her faith gives her strength in a demanding and often controversial role. She has also openly shared her views on topics like “spiritual warfare,” which she says she witnessed firsthand while on the campaign trail with President Trump.
Her comments about honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy by speaking openly about her faith came during a memorial service for the late activist, who was known for his own outspoken Christian beliefs. At the service, Leavitt praised Kirk for his dedication to “defending our God-given freedoms” and credited his faith as the motivation for his work. She reportedly vowed to continue his mission, in part, by being open about her own faith.
These statements align with a broader movement among some on the political right to more openly integrate religious expression into the public sphere. For Leavitt, this seems to be a personal and professional commitment that she is making in her role as White House Press Secretary.
