Trump isn’t making a Super Bowl pick, but his press secretary isn’t staying impartial: ‘Go Patriots!’
New Hampshire native Karoline Leavitt let her allegiances known at a White House press briefing on Thursday.
Despite recently rubbing elbows with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, President Donald Trump isn’t making a Super Bowl LX prediction, according to his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
But Leavitt, on the other hand, is letting her rooting interests be known.
“Happy Super Bowl weekend,” Leavitt closed Thursday’s White House press briefing. “The president has wisely chosen not to make a prediction in Sunday night’s game.
“But as a native girl from New Hampshire, go Patriots!”
The 28-year-old Leavitt grew up in Atkinson, New Hampshire. She attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, before graduating from Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire.
