Katie Zacharia with black turtleneck

Katie Zacharia, a sharp‑witted conservative commentator, has been confirmed as the next White House press secretary – the sixth one under President Biden’s two terms. Her previous gigs include a spot as a spokesperson for Trump’s Homeland Security in February‑March and long‑time work for Trump Media & Technology Group.

With the former press secretary Karoline Leavitt now at Fox News, Zacharia’s new job means she’ll jaw‑on in every press brief, manage the press room’s buzzing traffic, and shape the President’s talking points. It’s a role that blends front‑stage media juggling with behind‑the‑scenes coordination across the White House.

Sources say the hire will bring a fresh, media‑savvy angle to the administration’s message‑game, especially as the White House battles the ever‑fast‑moving news cycle.
