Karoline Leavitt reveals 'evil forces' working against Trump in stunning interview warning of 'spiritual warfare'

During an interview that was made public on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared her belief in ‘spiritual warfare’ and mentioned that ‘evil forces’ were actively working against President Donald Trump.

The 27-year-old press secretary sat down for an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody, a longtime White House correspondent. 

When the topic shifted to the current situation in the United States, the interviewer, Brody, described it in Christian terms as ‘spiritual warfare’ and questioned Leavitt about whether she perceived the world in terms of ‘good versus evil.’

Leavitt affirmed her belief in spiritual warfare by stating, ‘I certainly believe in spiritual warfare.’ She reflected on her experiences during the campaign with President Trump and expressed her conviction that there were indeed malevolent forces at play.

‘And I think that the president was saved by the grace of God on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he’s in this moment for a reason,’ Leavitt continued. 

Trump came centimeters from death when a bullet skidded by his ear during a campaign rally that day. 

‘We’re all here for a reason. And I think it’s a miraculous thing that has taken place in our country,’ she added. 

Leavitt also talked about losing her 2022 run for the House of Representatives in New Hampshire, a setback that then put her on the path to the White House, where she’s serving as the country’s youngest ever press secretary. 

‘Well, certainly, God has a plan for everyone. I believe that firmly and you just have to trust his lead and have faith that everything will work out,’ she said. ‘And when he closes a door it’s because he’s opening another.’

‘And for me that was my Congressional campaign,’ she continued. ‘I aspired to be a congresswoman and had a great primary victory, as you mentioned, and unfortunately lost the general election, or should I say fortunately – because it now led me to this opportunity.’ 

Leavitt, who aimed to become the country’s youngest member of Congress, lost to incumbent Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas. 

She had previously worked in the first Trump administration in the White House press office.  

‘And I wouldn’t have worked on the president’s campaign as his spokeswoman if I was serving in Congress and then I probably wouldn’t be the White House press secretary either,’ Leavitt said. 

‘So God knew what he was doing, I believe, and you just have to trust the process and trust that he’s working in your life and stay grounded in your faith throughout the way,’ she added.

Leavitt also spoke about leading the White House press office in a prayer directly ahead of each press briefing. 

‘Well before briefings, it’s a little bit chaotic and overwhelming because there’s so much news to consume and so all morning long my team and I are prepping,’ she said. 

Leavitt said that sometimes she acts like an ‘internal investigative reporter’ by asking policy experts – and the president – to interpret the news of the day. 

‘So I think that team prayer before is just a moment to be silent and still and ask God for confidence and the ability to articulate my words, knowledge, prayer, protection and it is a nice moment to reset,’ she explained. 

‘It’s the last thing I do before I go out there and then it just gives me the confidence to do the briefing,’ she said.   

So far, the 27-year-old has earned praised from Trump. 

Last week Trump said Leavitt was ‘really the rage right now,’ adding, ‘she’s knocking them dead.’ 

Leavitt told Brody that she hopes she’s viewed as a ‘hard worker who wants to get the job done and a good mother and good at my job.’ 

‘And I think that question has yet to be seen,’ she added. ‘We’ve only been here for two months, David. We’ll sit down again in four years.’
