'I'm proud I said yes': Katie Zacharia insists she will keep backing Trump after her five-day press secretary stint

Katie Zacharia says her biggest lessons were to 'stay true to your character' and 'refuse to be defined by the critics'. The mother of four, now back home in California, said her children saw 'what courage looks like in the face of criticism'. She admitted the circumstances 'weren't ideal' for her. Trump has yet to name her replacement, and Laura Loomer and George Santos are already angling for the job.

Her only briefing lasted 14 minutes, and she called her husband 'my president'.

Zacharia unfollowed Sean Hannity on X after he grilled her about failing the bar exam.

Gavin Newsom's press office mocked her stint with an 'In Memoriam: Tuesday-Friday' meme.
