Watch: Ever wonder what it's like to be at the White House? US press secretary Karoline Leavitt shows you

In a rare behind-the-scenes look at the White House, US press secretary Karoline Leavitt took viewers on a video tour of the iconic presidential residence in a clip shared on X. The video offered a glimpse into the daily life of Leavitt at the White House.
Leavitt first introduced herself in the video and said, "I have no plans of running, but I can give you a tour of the White House." From there, she walked through various parts of the historic complex, starting with "Pebble Beach," the area where members of the press gather.
She then pointed to the building near the West Wing, where President Donald Trump and his family reside. She then gave a description of her role as press secretary, "My job is to relay the President's message, agenda, views, and his feelings to the American people through the press," emphasising the importance of preparation, prayer, and communication with the president before stepping up to the podium.

The tour continued into the James S Brady Briefing Room, where Leavitt regularly addresses reporters. She shared her routine before each briefing, noting that she and her team stay immersed in current events, consult the president multiple times, and carefully work to understand his perspective in order to communicate it effectively.
Leavitt then led viewers through the "lower press" area, where her communications team works, highlighting it as the "front line" of the White House. She also showed her former seat from her days as assistant press secretary.
Inside her personal office, she pointed to photographs that mark key moments in her career and personal life, including pictures with Trump, her baby's first Air Force One flight, and her own first press briefing.
Closing the video, Leavitt said, "The White House is not for the president or the people who work here, it belongs to the American people."
