华盛顿讯——唐纳德·特朗普总统周五宣布，其媒体公司的传播顾问凯蒂·扎卡里亚将接替卡罗琳·莱维特出任白宫新闻秘书。
THOMAS BEAUMONT, COLLIN BINKLEY WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Friday that Katie Zacharia, a communications adviser for his media company, will succeed Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary.
特朗普在其经常发布政治及官方公告的Truth Social平台上公布了这一人事任命。扎卡里亚是特朗普媒体与技术集团的保守派评论员，该集团运营着这一社交平台。
Trump revealed his selection of Zacharia on his Truth Social platform, where he often makes political and official announcements. Zacharia is a conservative commentator for Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates the social media site.
在宣布这一任命时，特朗普称她“从一开始就是一位忠诚且出色的支持者”。今年早些时候，扎卡里亚曾短暂担任国土安全部发言人，此前她也是福克斯新闻和Newsmax的评论员。特朗普表示，扎卡里亚曾深度参与他的总统竞选活动，尤其是在那些关键的摇摆州。
In naming Zacharia, Trump described her as “a loyal and brilliant supporter, right from the beginning.”Zacharia briefly worked as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year and has been a commentator for Fox News and Newsmax. Trump said Zacharia had been involved in his presidential campaigns, notably in swing states.
记者试图联系扎卡里亚征求意见，但尚未得到回复。其领英资料显示，她拥有佩珀代因大学颁发的法学学位。
A request for comment left with Zacharia was not immediately answered. A LinkedIn profile noted that she earned a law degree from Pepperdine University.
此前，莱维特已于8月12日宣布离任，并于8月27日正式卸任。据该电视网周一透露，从11月1日起，她将转任福克斯新闻频道的现场评论员。
Leavitt announced her departure Aug. 12 and left the position Aug. 27. She will serve as an on-air contributor on Fox News Channel beginning Nov. 1, the network said Monday.
莱维特于2025年1月开始担任新闻秘书一职。她表示，此次离任是为了能有更多时间陪伴年幼的孩子。在进入白宫任职前，莱维特曾是特朗普2024年总统竞选团队的国家级新闻秘书。
Leavitt became press secretary in January 2025, and left the position, she said, to spend more time with her young children. Prior to serving in the White House, Leavitt was national press secretary for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
