The New York Times first reported that President Trump has selected conservative commentator Katie Zacharia as the next White House press secretary, succeeding Karoline Leavitt, who left in August. A White House official confirmed the offer, but the White House has not formally announced it and it is unclear whether she has accepted.
Why it matters
The White House press secretary role has sat vacant for more than a month since Karoline Leavitt departed in August. It is the White House's key communications post: running the daily briefing and fielding questions from the press corps. Zacharia would become the second press secretary of Trump's second term.
Full report
The New York Times first reported the selection on Oct. 9. According to the reports, Zacharia will succeed Karoline Leavitt, who left the White House in August. A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to the Washington Sun that Zacharia has been offered the position; however, the White House has not formally announced the pick, and it is not clear whether Zacharia has accepted.
Zacharia is a conservative commentator who briefly served as a spokesperson and deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security for about six weeks in early 2026. According to her LinkedIn profile, she currently works as a communications adviser at Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Truth Social.
