Conservative commentator Katie Zacharia offered role of Trump's new White House press secretary
Zacharia previously worked as a legal adviser for Fix California, a conservative group that aims to address what it described as "the left’s stranglehold" on state politics.
The White House has offered conservative commentator Katie Zacharia the position of press secretary, according to a CBS News report on Friday. The offer has yet to be confirmed by Zacharia. Zacharia previously worked as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year and currently serves as a senior communications adviser for Truth Social, the president's social media platform.
She is frequently seen on Fox News and Newsmax. The role was previously held by Karoline Leavitt who left in late August. Zacharia, who resides in California, graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu with both undergraduate and law degrees. She wrote an op-ed for the New York Post earlier this year about her experience wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat to her local gym, stating that she will never remove it to appease the left, emphasizing the importance of freedom of speech, even if it means facing discomfort.
The White House press briefing room has not hosted a briefing for the press since September 3rd, when Vice President JD Vance addressed reporters and took questions.
