WASHINGTON—White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took questions from children on May 20 during the “Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day” event at the White House.
The children, many of them the sons and daughters of reporters and White House staff, grilled the press secretary, posing a wide range of questions. Leavitt was asked everything from President Donald Trump’s favorite McDonald’s meal and preferred ice cream flavor to more controversial topics like who his favorite child is, the current state of the southern border, his favorite news outlet, and which president he admires most.
