Katie Zacharia, a communications adviser for President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, has been offered the position of White House press secretary following Karoline Leavitt’s departure from the role in August, a White House official said on Friday (October 9, 2026).
Ms. Zacharia did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but if she accepts the role, she would fill a critical role in the Trump administration before next month’s midterm congressional elections.
The New York Times first reported the news.
Ms. Zacharia briefly served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security before departing in March.
The conservative commentator is a senior communications adviser for Truth Social and the Trump Media & Technology Group, according to her LinkedIn page.
Ms. Zacharia previously worked as a legal adviser for Fix California, a conservative group that aims to address what it described as “the left’s stranglehold” on state politics. The group was founded by Richard Grenell, who has served as Mr. Trump’s envoy to Venezuela and is the interim president and executive director of the Kennedy Center in Washington.
