New White House Press Secretary Katie Zakaria During her debut official briefing on October 13, she made a slip of the tongue, accidentally calling her own spouse president..

"My president, I'm sorry, my husband, it turned out well. My husband has been here for a week because the family has two birthdays coming up," Zakaria told reporters when asked about combining a new responsible government job with raising four children.

According to the spokeswoman, her extended family currently resides in California, but in the near future, her husband and children are planning a full-fledged move to the American capital. Zakaria emphasized that she values her loved ones very much, calling them her main life priority.

According to an official White House statement, Zakaria was "powerful" and "dominant" at the debut press conference. The statement emphasizes that the new press secretary opened the event with a clear statement of purpose, and then outlined the achievements of US President Donald Trump.

At the same time, according to the American television channel CNN, some White House staff are wondering how long Katie Zakaria will last as press secretary after her first briefing. In their opinion, her performance was unlikely to satisfy Donald Trump.

On October 9, Trump announced that conservative columnist Katie Zakaria would become the new White House press secretary, replacing Caroline Leavitt, who left the post in August. According to him, she participated in the work in key swing states, where Republicans managed to win in all seven regions.

Later, on October 5, it became known that Leavitt would join Fox News channel as a commentator. She will start working on the TV channel on November 1. The former White House press secretary has already collaborated with Fox News: during the 2016 presidential election, she completed an internship at the TV channel. After leaving the White House, she continued to appear on the TV channel.
