After Karoline Leavitt left her role as White House Press Secretary at the end of August 2026 to spend more time with her family, President Donald Trump named Katie Zacharia as her replacement on Friday, October 9.

On Tuesday, October 13, Zacharia appeared in the briefing room for the first time on just her second day on the job, and things did not quite go in her favor.

She stayed at the podium for only 15 minutes and spent most of it reading haltingly from a prepared opening statement that heavily praised Trump.

While answering one of the three questions she took from the press, Zacharia committed a bizarre faux pas when she mentioned her husband, which some netizens labeled a “Freudian slip.”

“She is brutally bad at this,” one user commented.

After tackling two questions from Breitbart News and Fox News , Zacharia received a question from the Daily Mail about how she would handle the demands of her new role while raising four children, especially given the same reason that pushed her predecessor to resign.

Users said she hit the “lowest point” of the short-lived press conference while answering the question, confusing her boss for her life partner.

“The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is completely unacceptable, so my president—excuse me, my husband—is out here,” she said.
