Zacharia Set for First White House Briefing

Katie Zacharia is set to make her first appearance in the White House briefing room as President Donald Trump’s press secretary, taking over after Karoline Leavitt’s departure. Zacharia previously worked in communications for Trump Media and Technology Group, served as a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, and appeared as a conservative commentator. Her debut comes as the administration faces political pressure over economic concerns and the Iran war, ahead of the midterm elections, and amid continuing tensions with the press.
