Donald Trump is thrilled with Karoline Leavitt’s win in her Republican primary, claiming that the 25-year-old candidate has ‘wisdom’ despite the fact that he did not enter the New Hampshire campaign.
Leavitt might become the youngest lawmaker ever if she runs for Congress after turning 25 and becomes eligible to be sworn into the House of Representatives
The candidate competing for a seat in the 118th Congress has expressed controversial opinions, including that the 2020 election was’stolen’ and that her state’s 24-week abortion prohibition should be ‘pushed further’
She has also posted a video of herself firing a machine gun on social media with the message, “Come take it, Joe Biden!”
Karoline Leavitt, age 25, won the Republican primary for New Hampshire’s first congressional district on Tuesday.
A screenshot from Leavitt’s Instagram shows her firing a machine gun with the comment, “Come and take it, Joe Biden!” Leavitt heartily supports the Second Amendment.
She served as assistant press secretary under former President Donald Trump’s Press Secretary at the time, Kayleigh McEnany.
Leavitt defeated Matt Mowers, 33, a former Trump State Department and 2016 presidential campaign staffer and former coworker. The battle became acrimonious between the two as they emerged as the frontrunners in the Republican primary while Trump refused to weigh in.
In the Republican primary for New Hampshire’s 1st congressional district, the former assistant in Trump’s White House press office defeated another veteran of the previous administration, who was also a Republican.
Wednesday morning, Trump commented on Truth Social, “Amazing job by Karoline Leavitt in her big New Hampshire victory.” ‘Contrary to all odds, she succeeded, and on November 8 she will achieve an even larger victory. Wonderful insight and vitality!!!
Meanwhile, Don Bolduc, 60, also a staunch Trump supporter, won the New Hampshire Senate primary on Tuesday after Senate President Chuck Morse surrendered. He will face incumbent Senator Maggie Hassan in the general election in November.
Trump tweeted, “Congratulations to General Don Bolduc, a fine guy who began his military duty as a Private and concluded it as a General – and now his HUGE WIN in New Hampshire!” WOW! Excellent work, Don.
Leavitt, shown with an assortment of ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ memorabilia, has expressed her pro-life opinions, including that New Hampshire should ‘take it father’ than the current 24-week abortion prohibition and that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.

Additionally, the former president did not support a candidate in the New Hampshire Senate primary.
Outside groups such as Congressional Leadership Fund and Defending Main Street poured millions of dollars into New Hampshire.
The advertisements portrayed Leavitt as ‘awake,’ ‘immature,’ and’responsible’
Leavitt responded to Mowers by accusing him of propagating the ‘lie’ that Biden received more votes than Trump in the 2020 election.
In addition, she embraced her youth as a strong aspect of her candidacy.
She told CNN earlier this year, “We have folks in Washington, DC, who have been clinging to power for twice as long as I have been alive.”
Already, my youth is proving to be an asset on the campaign trail.
The fight between Leavitt and her former colleague Matt Mowers, 33, a former State Department and 2016 presidential campaign assistant for Trump, grew acrimonious.
A campaign website for Mowers referred to Leavitt as “fake MAGA Karoline” and claimed she “never had a real job outside the swamp.”
Mowers received the support of more establishment Republicans, such as the moderate Republican governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, and millions of dollars from a super PAC allied with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Despite this, he was unable to defeat the political novice.

The campaign tweeted following Leavitt’s victory, ‘Team Karoline may have been outspent, but we were NOT outworked.’
The article continued, ‘Now, Republicans must unite as we set our sights on November, because nothing is more vital than stopping the radical Socialist Agenda of Biden, Pelosi, and Pappas.’
According to her Instagram, Leavitt attended Saint Anselm College, a private college in Manchester, New Hampshire, where she was a member of the Broadcasting Club.
She graduated in 2019 and moved to Washington, D.C. to work for President Trump’s administration.
Leavitt rose through the ranks of the White House press office to become assistant press secretary to then-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
Tuesday, Don Bolduc, a retired army general who promotes former President Trump’s allegations of election fraud and has stated that the coronavirus vaccine has a microchip, won the New Hampshire Senate primary.
She continued to work for New York Representative Elise Stefanik, who in May replaced outgoing Republican Representative Liz Cheney as GOP Conference Chairman, despite Trump’s loss.
Before going back to New Hampshire to run for office, Leavitt was registered to vote from her ‘penthouse’ apartment in the nation’s capital, according to her old opponent’s damaging website.
If elected in the November 2022 midterm elections, Leavitt might become the youngest woman elected to Congress, following in the footsteps of her former boss.
In 2014, at the age of 30, Stefanik was the youngest woman ever to be sworn into the House.
In August, Leavitt turned 25, the minimum age required to be sworn into the House of Representatives. In addition to being the youngest woman ever elected to the House, she would also be one of the youngest lawmakers ever elected.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney stated of Leavitt, “Karoline Leavitt is a radical MAGA Republican who is unfit and ill-equipped to represent the Granite State.” Her claims about the 2020 election and her plans to outlaw abortion, reduce Social Security, and repeal the Affordable Care Act are too radical for New Hampshire.
Leavitt stated on the Feltes and Cail New Hampshire radio program that she supports utilizing government funds to conduct a nationwide audit of elections to make the system more safe and demonstrate that Trump was the actual winner of the 2020 presidential election.
