李·卡特：民调显示民主党可能淹没共和党。作为民调专家，我有一个问题。她周六早上的言论是在周五晚上在《杰西·沃特斯黄金时段》节目中的发言之后作出的，当时她批评了民主党的竞选策略，指责该党故意让她认为薄弱的候选人淡出公众视野。
LEE CARTER: POLLS SAY DEMOCRATS COULD SWAMP REPUBLICANS. AS A POLLSTER, I HAVE A QUESTION Her Saturday morning comments followed a Friday night appearance on " Jesse Watters Primetime " during which Zacharia criticized Democratic campaign strategies, accusing the party of keeping candidates she considers weak out of the public eye.
“这正是发生在乔·拜登身上的事情，‘地下室乔’在2020年大选期间。我们直到不得不见他时才看到他，”扎卡里亚对沃特斯说。“他们认为可以藏起这些候选人而我们不会注意到，”她补充道。
"This is what happened with Joe Biden, basement Joe, for the 2020 election. We didn't see him until we had to," Zacharia told Watters. "They think they can hide these candidates and we won't notice," she added.

"Becerra's disappeared, Talarico disappeared. And it's on purpose because they know they can't continue letting them talk because they're destroying their campaigns," Zacharia said.

Zacharia also revealed how she learned of her White House appointment, telling Watters that Trump personally called her with the news.
她表示：“我接到了人才招聘总监、总统本人的美妙电话。”她说：“他喜欢我为他所做的斗士精神……我只需继续做我一直在做的事情，那就是推动特朗普总统为美国人民所做的一切。”特朗普周五宣布扎卡里亚的任命，称：“我很荣幸刚刚任命凯蒂·扎卡里亚为新闻秘书。凯蒂目前担任真社交（特朗普媒体与科技集团）的高级传播顾问，她表现出色！”

Trump announced Zacharia's appointment on Friday, "It is my Great Honor to have just appointed, as Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia. Katie currently serves as Senior Communications Advisor to Truth Social (Trump Media & Technology Group), where she has been outstanding!"
利维特揭开了特朗普与普京、习近平、斯塔默之间‘紧张’且未经过滤的私下对话的帷幕。特朗普补充道：“她一直以来都有无瑕疵的支持记录，从一开始就是忠诚且杰出的支持者。同样，她也是MAGA的忠实粉丝和成员。我相信，凯蒂将以新闻秘书的身份为我们的国家带来强劲成果，因为她赢得了媒体、美国人民以及我政府的尊重，并且能够与他们出色合作。”
