White House Press Secretary Defends Proposals to Reduce Federal Spending

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has once again voiced strong support for the administration’s proposal to reduce federal spending, emphasizing the plan as a responsible and historically grounded step toward long-term fiscal health.

Speaking during a recent press briefing, Leavitt explained that the initiative is based on detailed recommendations from the Department of Government Efficiency and is aimed at making government operations more streamlined and cost-effective.

According to Leavitt, this is not about cutting essential services or reducing access to important public programs. Instead, the focus is on eliminating redundancies, improving agency performance, and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being put to their best use.

“This is about making government work better, not smaller,” she said. “It’s about accountability and sustainability—not austerity.”
