Mediaite - Steve Bannon Makes Bold Prediction About Karoline Leavitt’s Future

Steve Bannon offered the bullish prediction that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt won’t be behind the podium for long and that President Donald Trump may offer her a major cabinet position.

“After she’s spokesman for a year or two, I think she’s going to get a Cabinet position. Maybe chief of staff,” Bannon said in a new Politico Magazine profile.

Speaking to the outlet for an article tracing Leavitt’s rise from small-town campaigner to Trump’s combative spokesperson, Bannon described how he’d cast her early on as a raw but promising activist.

“She was such a longshot,” he said, recalling why he gave her early airtime on War Room. “She wasn’t perfect. She had a lot of rough edges. But she learned the lesson Andrew Breitbart did when he first started. He would do the most obscure talk radio in Montana and Wyoming — just do reps.”
