USA: Katie Zacharia wird neue Trump-Sprecherin im Weißen Haus
Seit Wochen wird in Washington gerätselt: Wer wird die Nachfolgerin von Karoline Leavitt? Nun hat das Weiße Haus eine Nachfolgerin in Trumps Medien-Imperium gefunden.
Washington - The White House has reportedly offered former television commentator Katie Zacharia the position of press secretary to US President Donald Trump. The Deutsche Presse-Agentur and CNN learned of this from White House circles. It is unclear whether Zacharia has accepted the job offer. However, The New York Times mentioned her as a potential successor to Trump's former spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, according to people familiar with the matter.
Zacharia's latest work, according to her LinkedIn profile, was as a communications consultant for the Trump Media & Technology Group, which includes the platform Truth Social. Prior to that, she served as the deputy spokeswoman for the US Department of Homeland Security and appeared as a commentator on Trump's television network Fox News and the ultra-conservative US network Newsmax.
Leavitt stepped down as the White House press secretary at the end of August, with Trump announcing her departure two weeks earlier. At just 29 years old, Leavitt held the position for the shortest time ever, having been in the role since the beginning of Trump's second term.
