Loomer lobbies to replace Zacharia: ‘Hear me out’

Laura Loomer said she would be an "amazing" press secretary and mocked the role’s recent turnover after Katie Zacharia was fired in four days.

  • Laura Loomer proposed herself as a candidate for White House press secretary after Katie Zacharia left the position, posting on X that she would be an effective spokesperson for President Donald Trump and would bring evidence to support the administration’s positions during briefings.
  • Loomer made her pitch shortly after Zacharia’s departure on October 16, following a tenure of less than a week that drew scrutiny over her first press briefing and questions about her professional background.
  • Despite expressing interest in the position, Loomer defended Zacharia against criticism, describing the negative reactions to her performance as excessive and saying Zacharia had intended to serve the president.
  • The White House had not announced a replacement when Loomer made her proposal, and Trump indicated he was not in a hurry to fill the vacancy, leaving the next appointment unresolved.
