Trump revealed his selection of Zacharia on his Truth Social
platform, where he often makes political and official
announcements. Zacharia is a conservative commentator for Trump
Media & Technology Group, which operates the social media site.
In naming Zacharia, Trump described her as “a loyal and
brilliant supporter, right from the beginning.”
In a social media post, Zacharia thanked Trump and called it the
“honor of a lifetime.” She added that Trump’s leadership is “a
blessing to this country.”
“The work ahead is to continue delivering strong results for our
Country and communicating to the American people the major wins
that this Administration is making every single day,” she wrote
on X.
Zacharia briefly worked as a spokesperson for the Department of
Homeland Security earlier this year and has been a commentator
for Fox News and Newsmax. Trump said Zacharia had been involved
in his presidential campaigns, notably in swing states.
A request for comment left with Zacharia was not immediately
answered. A LinkedIn profile noted that she earned a law degree
from Pepperdine University.
Leavitt announced her departure Aug. 12 and left the position
Aug. 27.
She will serve as an on-air contributor on Fox News Channel
beginning Nov. 1, the network said Monday.
Leavitt became press secretary in January 2025, and left the
position, she said, to spend more time with her young children.
Prior to serving in the White House, Leavitt was national press
secretary for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
