Katie Zacharia was appointed White House spokeswoman on October 9, 2026, replacing Karoline Leavitt, who left the post in August to devote more time to her family.
Katie Zacharia praised US President Donald Trump after leaving the post of White House spokesperson, which she took up less than a week ago, saying it was an honor to work for him. "President Trump is a kind, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, enthusiastic and hard-working man. I wish more Americans would appreciate him. No one will ever again make America great like he did and continues to do. It was an honor to work for him," Zacharia wrote on her X account, hours after being relieved of her duties after just four days as the president's spokesperson.
Appointment announced last October 9th
Zacharia's exit came after Trump suggested she reconsider her position, following the criticism she received for her first press conference, which lasted fourteen minutes and during which she answered only three questions, all coming from conservative media. Questions about his professional career have added to the doubts about his performance, after he admitted that he had failed the exam to practice law in California. The president announced Zacharia's appointment on October 9 to replace Karoline Leavitt, who left the post in August to devote more time to her family.
