President Donald Trump has offered the position of White House press secretary to Katie Zacharia, according to multiple reports confirmed by White House officials. Zacharia, a conservative lawyer and commentator, is currently employed as a senior communications adviser for the Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. She previously held roles as a spokesperson and deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security.

While multiple outlets report that the position has been offered to Zacharia, there is some ambiguity regarding whether she has officially accepted the role. Axios and The Guardian noted that it remains unclear if she has formally taken the job, while other outlets framed the appointment as a definitive selection. If she accepts, Zacharia will succeed Karoline Leavitt, who vacated the press secretary position in August.

Reporting on her background varies slightly in emphasis. The Hill and The Guardian highlight her work as a conservative commentator and her current role at Trump Media. Axios and Al Jazeera focus more on her previous government experience at the Department of Homeland Security. The New York Times is credited by several outlets as the first to report the news of her selection.
