President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming press secretary Karoline Leavitt is making a promise.
Leavitt appeared on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” Wednesday, where she criticized President Joe Biden, before pledging the Trump administration will offer more press access than Biden’s administration.
“He’s been spending a lot of time in Delaware as he did throughout his entire term,” she said of Biden, adding: “We haven’t seen or heard much from the leader of the free world over the past several weeks since the November 5 election. It’s clear that he realizes this is over for him.”
She then called it a “dereliction of duty on his behalf. And he owes it to the American people to speak directly to them.”
Per Fox News, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently told reporters she “didn’t have anything to share,” when asked if Biden will have a year-end press conference.
Leavitt went on to “assure” the press “of one thing”:
“But that’s not what we’ve seen from this White House over the past four years. Talk to reporters who sit inside that briefing room. They have been incredibly frustrated with the lack of access and transparency from the Biden White House. I can assure them of one thing: their access to the president and the transparency will increase when President Trump is back in the Oval Office. We saw that in his first term. He often brought the press into the Oval Office when he was signing bills. I can expect that is going to continue when he returns in January.”
Leavitt, 27, was appointed by Trump to serve in the role. She worked as Trump’s national press secretary during his 2024 presidential campaign.
