White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gained attention after a strong defense of President Trump’s policy to return federal employees to in-person work during an interview with Michael Strahan on Good Morning America.

The discussion centered on concerns about losing experienced workers, but Leavitt argued that federal workers should be present to serve the American people efficiently.

Leavitt countered Strahan’s points, criticizing the inefficiencies of remote work and drawing comparisons to private sector companies, which were also ending remote policies. She insisted that government workers should meet the same standards as private employees.

By the end of the interview, Strahan seemed frustrated, while Leavitt firmly stood by the administration’s policy. Her performance was praised by supporters, while critics questioned the policy’s practicality. Leavitt’s confident communication solidified her reputation as a skilled press secretary.
