President Trump said Friday that he has appointed Katie Zacharia as the next White House press secretary, replacing Karoline Leavitt. In his Truth Social statement, Trump described Zacharia as a California native and said she currently serves as Senior Communications Advisor to Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group.
Trump wrote: “It is my Great Honor to have just appointed, as Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia.” The announcement names a successor and credits Leavitt for her work.
Is Karoline Leavitt no longer the press secretary?
Trump said Zacharia “is replacing the fabulous Karoline Leavitt,” who he said did “a fantastic job as Press Secretary.” That is the President’s stated personnel decision.
The change puts a new press secretary in the role Leavitt held, according to Trump’s post. Readers following the administration’s public messaging can also see Trump’s October 7 statement and the Super Intelligence Force announcement.
Who is Katie Zacharia?
Trump said Zacharia is a native of California. He said she previously served as Spokesperson and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security.
The President also said Zacharia graduated from Pepperdine University and the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, is an attorney, and has appeared as a commentator on Fox News and Newsmax. He said she had previously assisted his campaigns in key swing states.
Why did Trump name a new press secretary?
Trump’s post praises both women. He said Zacharia had been “outstanding” at Truth Social and expressed confidence that she would work with the media, the American people, and his administration.
What does this say about Truth Social?
Trump said Zacharia currently works as Senior Communications Advisor to Truth Social “(Trump Media & Technology Group).” That identifies Trump Media & Technology Group as the company connected to Truth Social in the President’s statement.
