White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave an interview Monday with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), hosted by longtime White House correspondent David Brody, where she expressed her belief in "spiritual warfare" and described "evil forces" working against President Donald Trump. The interview released today aligns with your query about statements made public on a Monday.
Leavitt, at 27 the youngest press secretary in U.S. history, responded to Brody’s question about whether she views the world through a lens of "good versus evil," a framing he tied to Christian perspectives on spiritual warfare. She affirmed, "I certainly believe in spiritual warfare," adding, "And I think I saw it firsthand, especially throughout the campaign trail with President Trump. And I think there certainly were evil forces."
She specifically pointed to the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed his ear, asserting, "I think that the president was saved by the grace of God on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he’s in this moment for a reason."

Leavitt also discussed how her faith informs her work, noting that she leads her press team in prayer before briefings to seek "confidence and the ability to articulate my words, knowledge, prayer, protection." This ritual, she said, helps her reset amid the chaos of preparing for White House press engagements. Her statements drew attention for blending spiritual convictions with political commentary, particularly her assertion of "evil forces" opposing Trump, which she did not explicitly define but linked to the assassination attempt and broader campaign challenges.
