This past Tuesday, Karoline Leavitt, an Underdog Trump-Republican, managed to take the win in the GOP primary for the First Congressional District of New Hampshire.
After working a stint in the press shop for former President Donald Trump and then again for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Leavitt could end up being the youngest woman ever elected to a seat in Congress if she manages to keep the streak alive and win this coming November. She turned twenty-five years old as of last month.
“It feels like the honor of a lifetime,” the young woman stated to NH Journal in the wake of her win. “I’m so humbled, I’m at a loss for words over the outpouring of support from conservatives, from every community.”
Republican Matt Mowers, who previously worked on the 2016 presidential campaign for Trump and then served in the State Department throughout the Trump administration, was thought to be the frontrunner for close to a year, but over the past few weeks, Leavitt was able to push past him to take the lead. The 25-year-old was backed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), and quite a few other high-profile Republicans.
“When we got into this a year ago, nobody knew who I was,” stated Leavitt. “I had no money in the campaign account. I just had a drive and a work ethic and a passion to fight for this state and that is paid off over the last year.”
As part of her victory speech this past Tuesday, Leavitt acknowledged the unprecedented nature of her victory and predicted another win in the upcoming November elections against Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas.
“Tonight, we made history,” she stated to her supporters. “And I look forward to serving as the youngest congresswoman in United States history when we beat Chris Pappas.”
“As many of you know, my youth is one of the many reasons that I felt compelled to run for Congress in the first place,” she went on. “Because it’s my generation of Americans — your children, your grandchildren — who are not being served well by the current state of our education system, our media and our entire culture.”
Extreme leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) previously received a tremendous level of media attention back in 2018 when she took the title of youngest woman elected to Congress at age 29.
“This is what is possible when every day people come together in the collective realization that all our actions — no matter how small or how large — are powerful, worthwhile and capable of lasting change,” expressed Ocasio-Cortez as part of her victory speech at that time. “Words cannot express my gratitude.”
This past Tuesday evening while talking to Fox News, Leavitt claimed that voters wanted a “home-grown America First conservative going up against Chris Pappas this fall.”
The Republican outright dismissed the questions directed at her far-Right platform, telling those within Fox News that being America First is “not partisan.”
