Live Katie Zacharia'a first Press Briefing
Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/13/26 | RCP

Posted on 10/13/2026 1:05:11 PM PDT by Bobbyvotes

Thank you to President Trump for the distinguished privilege of serving as White House Press Secretary.

Serving President Trump and the American people at this critical 250-year mark is the honor of a lifetime. President Trump has shown America that we can be great again, and he works to effectuate that greatness every single day. His confidence is a true privilege, and his 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. I look forward to working with the White House press corps, and with reporters across the country, to get that record out. Following the fabulous Karoline Leavitt is a high standard, and one worth meeting.

God bless President Trump, and God bless America.

I wonder why President Trump doesn’t hire a male press secretary.

“I wonder why President Trump doesn’t hire a male press secretary.”

This is simply not going to end well

Doesn’t have to be a guy. Caroline was great so was huckabee. Even Perino in the bush admin

This one is not any of them

I can’t think of any male person who could have done better job better than Karoline Leavitt. We shall see how Katie Z will perform in her new job. Her first press briefing was excellent summary of Trump’s accomplishment, many of which I was not aware of.

As I recall, Fareed Zakaria from CNN was rabidly anti Trump and vilified Americans at every possible opportunity on his show. Is Katherine a relative?

....this Uber-phoney El-Sayed is rightly critisized for calling himself a physician, when he truly is not...now comes Katie Zacharia who is touted by Trump etc al as an attorney, but she has never passed a bar exam in any state...good for the goose that’s good for the gander...??

No. It’s NOT good. This is a bad thing. A bad situation

A campaign-er can BS way more readily than a press sec, and el sayed and his bs are very bad

The press sec has to have good answers. And she did not- to a question that is not going away.

Did she really say she passed the bar exam in China?

Fareed Zakaria spells last name differently, and I can’t find any direct connection. When I heard Zacharia, the same thought went through my mind. It does not look like those 2 are related, whew.

Karoline was very good at her job, never got flustered or outwitted by any reporter. Those are big boots to follow!

This was a great first press conference. She looked amazing—the camera loves her.

Yes, and Spicer was a train wreck. They ate his lunch every day. Nothing against him, otherwise. It wasn’t his fault that, being a redhead, any discomfort he had with their attacks immediately showed up in him by his face turning bright red. Not something he could control; hope he avoids poker.

Agreed, she seemed very nervous. Karoline was the best ever!

Stephen Miller ...?
