ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Trump campaign national press secretary Caroline Leavitt declared Friday at the National Federation of Republican Women’s (NFRW) spring 2024 board meeting that the Republican Party is “the party of women.”
During her keynote speech, Levitt criticized President Joe Biden, Democrats, and the “stenographers” in the mainstream media who frequently claim that Democrats are champions of women.
“I’m tired of hearing them all say, ‘The Democratic Party is the party of women.’ That’s false. The great old party, the Republican Party, is the party of women,” Levitt said, speaking to a packed audience at the NFRW luncheon. This drew thunderous applause from the attendees in the conference room.
The only media outlet present for her speech was Breitbart News. Following his remarks, Levitt spoke in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News and outlined President Trump’s plan to win over women voters in the 2024 election.
Founded in 1938, NFRW teeth It is the nation’s largest grassroots Republican women’s organization, representing more than 60,000 members across the United States and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, including Ms. Leavitt.
Specifically, Levitt pointed out that Biden and the Democratic Party’s economic and border policies are harmful to women and all Americans, and during his speech he criticized the left’s desire to allow men to participate in women’s sports. It also highlighted the hypocrisy of the claims.
“How can you say that when Joe Biden and the Democrats are implementing policies that hurt hard-working women, mothers, and families across this country?” Levitt said of the economy. “It would cost the average American family nearly $20,000 to live under the Trump administration and get the same quality of life without even getting promoted. is on.”
Specifically, purchasing power was $1.00 in January 2021, former President Donald Trump’s last month in office. had Purchasing power is the same as it was at $1.19 in February 2024, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This shows the damage inflation has done to American consumers during Biden’s presidency.
“Joe Biden’s out-of-control spending has created the worst inflation crisis in a generation,” Levitt said.
Regarding the border, Levitt asserted that Biden’s “policies are hurting women across this country,” pointing to the February 22 killing of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old University of Georgia student. . identified As an illegal immigrant.
“[Biden] “We have allowed the mass infiltration of more than 10 million illegal criminals into our country, many of whom have raped, sexually assaulted, and, in the tragic case of Laken Riley, great Georgia, murdered women across the nation,” Levitt said. he said. The actual number of immigrants who entered the country illegally is likely much higher.
Notably, Biden mispronounced Riley’s first name as “Lincoln” during last Thursday’s State of the Union address. The next day he I apologized She told MSNBC that she should have used the word “illegal alien” after calling her alleged killer “illegal.”

Leavitt said Riley’s horrific fate was “every woman’s worst nightmare” and that “that nightmare has sadly become reality in President Joe Biden’s America.”
And although Mr. Biden apologized for getting the name of the slain 22-year-old girl wrong and using “illegal” rhetoric about her suspected killer, as Mr. Leavitt pointed out, Mr. Trump expressed his grief last week. I met with Riley’s parents directly.

She also highlighted the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party defending men in women’s sports while claiming its mantle as “the party of women.” “
“And just to be clear, Joe Biden and the Democratic Party cannot say they are the party of women just because they support men participating in women’s athletics.” Levitt To thunderous applause, President Trump vowed to “fight to protect women’s athletics from day one.” “America,” he said, noting that he had promised to reduce federal funding for “public schools and institutions that allow biological males to participate in women’s sports.”
Trump’s 2024 national press secretary also vividly contrasted a Biden administration’s America with what a second Trump term would promote on the border and economy.
“Rest assured, I’m here with a hopeful message from the President. As the President said last weekend in Georgia, the vicious monster who killed ‘Lincoln Riley’ was an illegal alien. ,” Levitt said. “He should never have been here in the first place, and President Trump’s return to the White House will not allow illegal criminals to be unleashed on our communities to cause further harm. You will be expelled.”
“President Trump will protect all of us, men and women, by making America safe and strong again,” Levitt added. “He will implement pro-growth, low-tax, America-first economic policies that uplift all Americans, regardless of race, religion or creed. He will once again encourage our allies and We will lead the free world with a foreign policy of strength through peace that weakens our adversaries.”
After a standing ovation that culminated in her speech and meeting with the great women of NFRW, Ms. Levitt gave an exclusive interview to Breitbart News in which she said, “The Republican Party is the party of women.” He explained in detail his statement that “is.” She detailed President Trump’s plans to win over women voters.
“We are the party that lifts up working mothers and their families through pro-growth, low-tax, deregulated economic policies, and we put more money in the pockets of hard-working women across this country,” Levitt told Breitbart News. “We’ll give a lot of money back.” “Joe Biden’s Economic Policy – His Taxes, Spending, and Exercise of Federal Government Power” teeth Thousands of dollars are taken away from hardworking women and families across this country every year. ”
“The Republican Party is also the party of women because we want to protect women’s rights, including women’s athletics and safe spaces for women like locker rooms and restrooms,” the Trump campaign said. The spokesperson continued. “Joe Biden is controlled by the far-left Democrats in this country, and they support men participating in women’s athletics. President Trump has made it very clear that winning a second term will end that. .”
“And thirdly, I know I talked about this in my speech, but we want illegal criminals, rapists, and murderers to invade our southern border and assault women across this country. Joe Biden and the Democratic Party are not pro-women, as we have seen in the Laken Riley case and countless others in every state in this country. But I’ve seen it,” she added.
Her comments came after a 26-year-old immigrant was arrested in Levitt’s home state of New Hampshire and neighboring Massachusetts for allegedly raping a 15-year-old immigrant with disabilities who was staying at the same hotel in a town called Rockland. It came out a few days later. , as CBS News I got it..
Levitt told Breitbart News that Biden “has the executive authority to close the border at this point,” but he “refuses” to take action.
She argued that the president and his allies on the left “want these open borders because it’s about power and control.” They need more votes. ”
“They don’t care about the safety and protecting the lives of women across this country,” she told Breitbart News. “President Trump is right to once again condemn this new wave of immigrant crime we are seeing in America’s suburbs, America’s urban areas, and even America’s rural communities.”
NFRW President Julie Harris praised Levitt in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News after the keynote speech.
“We felt that Caroline represented women well, not just Republican women, but American women as well. She spoke about important issues,” Harris said. “You’re talking about Republican women’s issues. These issues are very American issues, but it’s all about how you present it to women, it’s about the messaging, and what appeals to women. It is located in.”
“She talked about safety, security and the economy, which are very important to women,” Harris added. “They don’t want people looking over their shoulder to make sure it’s safe when they’re jogging near the university. It’s a safe place for women to jog.”
In a conversation with Breitbart News, Levitt spoke about the importance of grassroots organizations like NFRW. According to Breitbart News, NFRW women volunteer an average of 14 million hours in a given election cycle. The organization says it is already above the average for the 2024 cycle.
“Organizations like this are the heart of the Republican Party,” Levitt explained. “They are on the ground in their communities, and now that President Trump is the party’s nominee, they are fully partnering and collaborating with outside organizations like the National Federation of Republican Women to help convey President Trump’s message. We’re very excited to share this with you,” and we’ll be voting on November 5th. ”
Breitbart News told Harris that the Republican Party and the NFRW are now in the spotlight, when Trump’s nominee is considered the frontrunner, compared to months later when a strong candidate typically emerges. asked Harris how much benefit it would bring to unite the party.
“It’s great. There is unity within the party,” she said. “Having candidates fielded so quickly was a huge accomplishment in uniting all of the women. They’re ready to get to work.”
