Not Just Politics? Leavitt Suggests Something Darker Targeting Trump [WATCH]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has described the ongoing political attacks against President Donald Trump as part of a larger struggle between good and evil, referring to it as “spiritual warfare.”

In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody, Leavitt shared her strong belief in divine influence, pointing to the challenges faced by the Trump administration as evidence of this higher battle.

During the interview, Leavitt stated:

“I certainly believe in spiritual warfare.”

“And I think I saw it firsthand, especially throughout the campaign trail with President Trump.” She added, “I think there certainly were evil forces” working against the president.

Leavitt also pointed to a significant event during Trump’s presidency, recalling the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2022. She viewed the attack as a part of God’s plan to protect the president.

“The president was saved by the grace of God on July 13th,” she said, emphasizing her belief that Trump is in this political moment for a divine purpose. “He’s in this moment for a reason,” Leavitt added.

Her faith also informs her own political journey. In 2022, Leavitt ran for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District, where she won the Republican primary but ultimately lost to incumbent Democrat Chris Pappas. Despite the setback, Leavitt saw the loss as part of God’s plan for her life.

“Well, certainly, God has a plan for everyone,” Leavitt explained. “I believe that firmly, and you just have to trust His lead and have faith that everything will work out.” She added, “When He closes a door, it’s because He’s opening another.”

Leavitt’s belief in this divine guidance helped her view her defeat not as a failure but as a necessary step in her political path.

Reflecting on her political journey, Leavitt noted that had she won the congressional race, she may not have been able to join the Trump campaign as its spokeswoman, which eventually led to her current role as White House press secretary.

“If I had won that race, I wouldn’t have worked on the president’s campaign as his spokeswoman, and then I probably wouldn’t be the White House press secretary either,” she said.

Leavitt also discussed how her faith plays a role in her daily work routine. She shared that before each press briefing, she and her team take a moment to pray together.

“Before briefings, it’s a little bit chaotic and overwhelming because there’s so much news to consume,” Leavitt acknowledged. “That team prayer before is just a moment to be silent, to be still, and to ask God for confidence, knowledge, and protection.”

She noted that this brief time of prayer provides a much-needed reset before facing the challenges of the day.

President Trump has praised Leavitt for her performance as press secretary, calling her “really the rage right now” and stating that she is “knocking them dead,” according to the Daily Mail.

Despite the accolades, Leavitt emphasized that she remains focused on her mission rather than seeking personal recognition. “I hope I’m viewed as a hard worker who wants to get the job done, a good mother, and good at my job,” she told Brody. She added, “We’ve only been here for two months, and we’ll sit down again in four years.”

Leavitt’s personal faith and strong belief in a divine purpose have played a significant role in her approach to the high-pressure role of White House press secretary, shaping her perspective on the political challenges facing the Trump administration and her own career trajectory.
