Nigel Farage, the prominent Brexit campaigner and honorary president of Reform UK, has publicly endorsed Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s campaign spokeswoman, calling her a "star" in the political arena. The endorsement comes as tensions rise ahead of the US presidential elections.
Leavitt, who serves as the national press secretary for Trump’s 2024 campaign, recently made headlines after a contentious interview with CNN. The network cut her off mid-interview, sparking widespread debate over media bias and free speech.
Farage, no stranger to media controversies himself, took to social media to praise Leavitt’s resilience. "Karoline Leavitt is a star," he wrote. "The way she handled herself against CNN’s hostility was impressive. This is exactly the kind of strength needed in politics today."
The endorsement has drawn mixed reactions, with some applauding Farage’s support for conservative voices, while others criticise it as an attempt to influence US politics from abroad.
Leavitt, in response, thanked Farage for his backing, stating, "It’s an honour to have the support of someone who understands the fight against the establishment better than anyone."
As the US election season heats up, Farage’s involvement adds another layer of intrigue to an already volatile political landscape.
