Katie Zacharia Holds First Briefing as White House Press Secretary

Zacharia said she will expand the new media seat and amplify Trump’s agenda as the administration heads toward next month’s midterm elections.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump appointed conservative commentator Katie Zacharia as the new White House Press Secretary, making her the sixth person to hold the position in this administration.
  • The position remained vacant since August when former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt resigned to prioritize family time, during which formal press briefings were rarely conducted.
  • A Pepperdine University graduate, Zacharia interned during the George Bush administration and currently serves as a communications adviser for Trump Media, with longstanding ties to Ric Grenell.
  • Zacharia is scheduled to hold her first news briefing on Tuesday morning, drawing on her frequent appearances on Fox and Newsmax to transition into the official spokesperson role.
  • President Trump praised Zacharia as having an "unblemished record of support" and being a "loyal and brilliant supporter," while she called serving at this "critical 250-year mark" an honor of a lifetime.
