Conservative commentator Katie Zacharia has been offered the position of White House press secretary, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
She would fill a role that has sat vacant for more than a month following the departure of Karoline Leavitt.
The New York Times first reported that Zacharia had been selected.
It is not clear whether Zacharia has accepted, and the White House has not formally announced the pick.

Zacharia briefly served as a spokesperson and deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security for about six weeks in early 2026. Most recently, she works as a communications adviser at Trump Media and Technology Group, according to her LinkedIn profile.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
