The last White House press secretary was Katie Zacharia, who was in the role for a week and hosted a briefing. Prior to her, Karoline Leavitt had been in the role since the beginning of Trump’s second term in office.
Leavitt remains in the president’s outside orbit. Following the midterms on Tuesday, Trump shook up his staff by replacing Susie Wiles with close advisor Stephen Miller as chief of staff.
