The White House did not confirm whether she has accepted the offer. According to her LinkedIn profile, Zacharia currently works as a senior communications adviser for Truth Social, President Trump's social media site. She previously served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year and frequently appears on Fox News and Newsmax.
The New York Times first reported that Zacharia was offered the role. The White House James S. Brady Press Briefing Room hasn't hosted a briefing since September 3, when Vice President JD Vance addressed reporters.
Zacharia completed her undergraduate and law degrees at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. Earlier this year, she wrote an op-ed for the New York Post about wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat to her local gym, stating that she would not remove it despite being asked by the owner.
