Former Truth Social communications adviser offered White House press secretary role

The White House has extended an offer to Katie Zacharia, a communications adviser for President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform, to serve as the new White House press secretary. This position became vacant following Karoline Leavitt's departure from the role in August. Zacharia, who has also previously served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, has not yet responded to requests for comment.

If she accepts the offer, she would take on a crucial role in the Trump administration before the upcoming midterm congressional elections, as reported by The New York Times and confirmed by a White House official on Friday. Prior to her current position, Zacharia worked as a legal adviser for Fix California, a conservative group aimed at addressing perceived left-leaning influence in state politics, founded by Richard Grenell, who serves as Trump's envoy to Venezuela.
