Trump has repeatedly fielded questions from reporters in the first few weeks. The president has reportedly taken over 1,000 press questions <www.foxnews.com/media/president-trump-reportedly-took-1009-questions-his-first-month-7-times-more-than-biden> already.
“I mean that is the most accessible president we’ve ever had, and it’s a question on every topic under the sun, and again he did it with his entire cabinet sitting around him, the transparency and the accessibility, and they don’t say it on the air, but they will tell you off the record that they are pleased with that,” Leavitt said.
She also discussed her changes to the White House <www.foxnews.com/media/white-house-press-secretary-karoline-leavitt-announces-major-changes-press-first-briefing> briefing room as well as the media’s access to the administration.
Part of Leavitt’s changes included a new media seat for influencers, podcasters and more. “Ruthless” podcast co-host John Ashbrook <www.foxnews.com/media/podcast-host-says-he-received-eye-rolls-smirks-from-reporters-during-white-house-briefing-debut> was one of the first podcast hosts with access to the briefing room.
“This goes back to the non-traditional media strategy that Donald Trump owned and won on the campaign trail, sitting down with podcasts, influencers, comedians and owning that space, because no other politician has ever done that before,” Leavitt told the hosts.
“And he was able to reach so many people across the country who otherwise would have never heard his honest message and who he really is as a person because the coverage of him has always been through the bias of the legacy media,” she added.
