I donโ€™t really know much about her (going on an evening google hunt) but listening to her speech earlier and how she handled the press I really like her confidence/bluntness to some of the questions answered.

No flip flopping with her answers like our UK politicians.

Whatโ€™s everyoneโ€™s thoughts on her? Is she well liked?

I did find it impressive how she kept a straight face when saying that the power to decide which journalists were able to "ask questions of the president" by being in the White House press pool would be given "back to the people" by now being decided "by the White House press team". I'm sure that generally when people hear about a power returning to the people, the president's own press team is exactly what they picture.

What do you mean? She said, when asked about the administrator of DOGE, that Musk wasn't the administrator, and that she would not reveal the name of the administrator, but that they've "been incredibly transparent about the way that DOGE is run". The question came about because a lawyer for the Trump administration was asked in court who the DOGE administrator was, and didn't know.

The administrator of DOGE has now been revealed, but by someone who told a reporter on condition of anonymity. But maybe Leavitt doesn't know what transparent means.

She's an excellent communicator, exciting to watch, she seems so clever.

I think she's awful, any decent person would not be comfortable being a spokesperson for such an awful, greedy and unkind pig of a man....standing with Russia and South Korea against the entire free world. Just awful the lot of them.

She's the mouthpiece for a man so blatantly careless with the truth that it's embarrassing. She has no sense of honour or integrity and is part of the toxic rot in US politics.
