Weißes Haus: Kreise: Jobangebot für Katie Zacharia als Trumps Sprecherin

Seit Wochen wird in Washington gerätselt: Wer wird die Nachfolgerin von Karoline Leavitt? Nun hat das Weiße Haus eine Person rausgepickt, die es gerne auf dem Posten hätte.

Weißes Haus: Kreise: Jobangebot für Katie Zacharia als Trumps Sprecherin

The White House has offered Katie Zacharia, a former television commentator, the position of Press Secretary to U.S. President Donald Trump, according to sources within the White House. The Deutsche Presse-Agentur learned of this from White House circles, though it is unclear if Zacharia has accepted the offer. The "New York Times" reported her as a potential successor to Trump's former Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, citing confidential sources.

Zacharia has worked as a communications consultant for the Trump Media & Technology Group, which includes the platform Truth Social, and previously served as deputy spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. She has also been a commentator for Trump's Fox News channel and the ultra-conservative U.S. network Newsmax.

Leavitt stepped down as Press Secretary in late August, with Trump announcing her departure two weeks earlier. At just 29 years old, Leavitt held the position longer than any other Press Secretary in Trump's second term.
