Leavitt Says Trump Survived By โGrace Of Godโ
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has reignited the national debate around faith and politics, declaring in a new interview that evil forces against Trump are actively working to undermine him. Speaking to David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Leavitt described her belief in โspiritual warfareโ and credited divine intervention for saving Trump during an assassination attempt in July.
โI certainly believe in spiritual warfare,โ Leavitt said. โI saw it firsthand throughout the campaign trail with President Trump. There were certainly evil forces.โ
She pointed to the failed assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet narrowly missed Trumpโs head, as evidence of divine protection. โThe president was saved by the grace of God,โ she said. โItโs a miraculous thing that has taken place in our country.โ
Leavitt Attributes Career To Divine Timing
Leavitt, now the youngest White House Press Secretary in U.S. history, also reflected on her failed 2022 congressional run in New Hampshire. Although she lost to Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas, she believes it was part of a larger plan.
โWhen God closes a door, heโs opening another,โ she said. โLosing that election led me here. I wouldnโt be in this position if things had gone differently.โ
She emphasized that her journeyโfilled with setbacks, victories, and new opportunitiesโhas all unfolded according to Godโs will.
Faith Shapes Her Daily Routine
As chaos brews around the administration, Leavitt relies on prayer to stay grounded. She revealed that she and her team lead a group prayer before every press briefing.
โItโs the last thing I do before going out there,โ she explained. โIt resets my spirit and gives me the confidence to do the briefing.โ
She said the prayer is a moment to ask for clarity, calm, and protection before facing a demanding press corps.
White House Faces Spiritual Battle, She Claims
The idea of evil forces against Trump has long circulated in conservative and religious circles, but Leavittโs remarks are the most explicit yet from a high-level official inside the Trump administration.
Brody asked if she saw the world as a battle between good and evil. โAbsolutely,โ she replied. โWeโre all here for a reason. What happened in Butler proves that.โ
Leavitt emphasized that the presidentโs survival was not luck, but โa moment of divine grace.โ
Trump Applauds Her Rising Star Power
The president has publicly praised Leavittโs performance. โSheโs really the rage right now,โ Trump said recently. โSheโs knocking them dead.โ
When asked how she wants to be remembered, Leavitt responded humbly. โI hope people see me as a hard worker, a good mom, and someone who gets the job done,โ she said. โBut weโve only been here two months. Weโll see in four years.โ
Confidence Rooted In Conviction
Leavitt also touched on her approach to briefing preparation, likening herself to an โinternal investigative reporter.โ She said she consults with experts, including President Trump, to better understand daily issues before speaking to the public.
But her most important prep step is spiritual. โThat moment of prayerโitโs everything,โ she said. โIt brings focus, peace, and power.โ
The Bigger Picture
In todayโs climate, the notion of evil forces against Trump is no longer just rhetoricโitโs now being echoed from inside the White House. As the administration braces for the 2024 election, Leavittโs words suggest that the Trump team sees itself not just in a political battle, but in a spiritual one.
