WHITE House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has given an inside look at holding a top-ranking executive position as she learns the ropes of being a new mom.
Leavitt, 27, commemorated the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency with sweet pictures of her son in the Oval Office.
She posted nine pictures on Instagram that captured the fast-paced life of running press briefings and attending all of the White House’s most important events.
The first adorable image shows the youngest press secretary in history holding her baby Niko, whom she shares with her husband Nicholas Riccio, as they stand just feet away from Trump.
Leavitt had little Niko in July of last year. She had taken ten days off working on Trump’s campaign when the president was shot by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.
After hearing this news, Leavitt requested to come back to work immediately and hadn’t taken a breath since.
The press secretary has worked closely with other big Washington DC players like Elon Musk, whom she was seen smiling alongside in one of the images.
In another picture, Leavitt strutted through the White House with Steven Cheung, who works as the communications director for the executive office.
But despite rubbing shoulders with some of the most powerful movers and shakers in the country, Leavitt made it clear that spending time with her baby boy remains her most important task.
“The first 100 days: mom & press sec edition,” she captioned the post.
Fans of the rising political star gushed over the commemorative post, and said she represents a “pro-life and pro-women” administration.
“And to do what you are doing at your age so eloquently. Such a role model for all women and young girls,” wrote one fan.
Another said, “You’re a legend. All of you.”
“You’re spectacular! And you’re just getting started! The best is yet to come,” wrote a follower.
“You’re a rock star greatest press secretary ever! Keep up the great work,” said another excited fan.”

Trump held a rally in Michigan to commemorate his first 100 days, and was celebrated by fans for trolling a Democratic rival.
After he started speaking to the crowd, he noticed that Governor Gretchen Whitmer was in the audience, and asked her to join him on the stage.
The two then awkwardly shook hands, and Trump asked Whitmer to speak, which she admitted she hadn’t prepared for.
Despite their past tension, Trump congratulated her for her role in saving the Selfridge Air National Guard Base – a facility that had faced potential shutdown.
Speaking to the roaring crowd, the president boldly claimed that his administration had brought the greatest first 100 days in history.
“This is the best, they say, 100-day start of any president in history, and everyone is saying it,” he told rallygoers.
“We’ve just gotten started. You haven’t even seen anything yet.”
How Trump changed the world in first 100 days
Donald Trump has signed over 140 executive orders in his first 100 days back in office. After making a slew of promises before re-entering the White House, what has he achieved so far?
Education:
Trump signed an executive order to cut federal money to schools that support or are seen to “push critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content” onto children.
He has also signed an order to cut funding to schools that have a mandate about vaccines and masks.
The President is also working on closing the federal Education Department and pulling back on DEI policies and programs, directing the federal government to end its diversity and equity programs.
Classified Records:
In March 2025, the White House released the classified documents on the assassination of JFK, something Trump vowed to do in October 2024 “immediately” after re-entering office.
Energy:
In September 2024, Trump vowed to declare a national energy emergency to push for more drilling and boosting “domestic energy supply” which he did when he signed an executive order upon entering the White House.
Another promise he has kept was signing an executive order to remove the US from the Paris Agreement.
Two other orders Trump has signed are working to keep his promises to end state emissions waivers that limit sales of gas-powered cars and to bring an end to the “electric vehicle mandate.”
Foreign Affairs:
The President vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine war soon after entering office and has become a key negotiator between the warring nations.
Though he has so far failed to end the bloodshed, his action has moved talks on to finding a ceasefire agreement.
He also criticised the amount of US funding going to Ukraine, quickly ramping up pressure on European allies to take on more of the burden.
As part of his diplomacy and foreign strategy, Trump has already hosted at least 11 world leaders in his first 100 days with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being the first leader welcomed to the White House on February 4.
Government:
Trump said he would fire government employees who he says are “corrupt bureaucrats” which is something he has addressed via another executive order.
He also established DOGE to root out blockers to efficiency with Elon Musk brandishing the “chainsaw for bureaucracy.”
DOGE cuts have seen major reductions in the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and attempts to make cuts in the Department of Education.
Cuts of $47.4 billion have been made to the Department of Health and Human Services while over $45 billion has been taken from the Agency for International Development, and $2.6 billion has been cut from the Department of State, according to DOGE.
Immigration:
The President has long been waging a war on immigration and has signed numerous executive orders in a bid to fulfil his plans.
These include carrying out the biggest deportation in US history to “end the migrant invasion,” ending the constitutional right to birthright citizenship, banning refugees from Gaza and removing the student visas of those deemed to be pro-Hamas protesters, “radical anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners.”
He also signed an order to start “ideological screening” for all immigrants and axed the CBP One app used by migrants to schedule appointments US border patrol agents.
Illegal border crossings from Mexico are now the lowest they have been for over four years but there are fears that some of those being deported under Trump’s action against “killers and thugs” are innocent and are not being given due process.
Pardons:
Trump has pardoned over 1,500 people including the majority of those convicted or charged in the Capitol Hill riots on January 6, 2021.
He has also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the founder of a dark web marketplace known as Silk Road and Charles Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s father-in-law who was in prison for tax evasion, witness tampering, and campaign finance offences.
Tariffs:
In November, Trump said he would “tariff the hell out of countries that have been taking advantage” of the US, something he is continuing to work on after his “Liberation Day” announcement of a “reciprocal tariff” strategy with tariffs up to 145%, most harshly impacting China.
Taxes:
Through congressional action, the President has started cutting corporate tax rates to 15%, make tax cuts permanent, have no tax on tips, scrap taxes on Social Security and overtime pay, and making interest on car loans entirely tax deductible.
