A video shared by a White House staffer captures press secretary Karoline Leavitt praying to Jesus for guidance before she heads out to another press briefing to take on the reporters in the room.
Leavitt has often cited her Catholic education for instilling discipline and making her the confident woman she is today.
“Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun and be confident. In Jesus’s name. Amen,” she says while waiting behind the entrance to the briefing room.
Communications Director Margo Martin shared the clip on X Friday afternoon. It has already amassed over one million views.
“This is your [press secretary], America,” Martin wrote, adding a praying and American flag emoji.
This is your @PressSec, America! 🙏🏼🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/WShfybW7zK
