Trump appoints Katie Zacharia as White House press secretary after Karoline Leavitt’s exit, ahead of midterms

US President Donald Trump has appointed Katie Zacharia as the new White House press secretary, replacing Karoline Leavitt. Zacharia, a communications adviser to Trump's Truth Social platform, brings experience in conservative media, legal advocacy, and the Trump-aligned communications network. She will be responsible for communicating the administration's positions to journalists and the public, particularly ahead of the November midterm elections.

The appointment comes as Trump's approval rating has dropped, and Republicans express dissatisfaction with his handling of various issues.
