Katie Zacharia named White House press secretary
The White House press secretary explains the president’s views to the public and the media.
Katie Zacharia will take over the job from Karoline Leavitt.
Her appointment comes before next month’s midterm elections, when voters choose members of Congress.
Trump’s low approval rating and public concerns about the Iran war and living costs may make the job harder.

Zacharia replaces Karoline Leavitt, who left the role in late August.
Trump announced the appointment on Truth Social and praised Zacharia’s loyalty and support during his election campaign.
Zacharia said the appointment was the honour of her life and that she would communicate the administration’s successes.
