Trump blames the media for Katie Zacharia's disastrous week as press secretary

Karoline Leavitt commented on her successor Katie Zacharia 's firing after just five days as White House press secretary, stating the job obviously was not for her.

Zacharia was dismissed following a widely criticized 14-minute debut briefing during which she read awkward prepared remarks and took questions from only three journalists.

Leavitt stated she is assisting President Donald Trump in searching for a replacement who is tough, smart, loyal, and understands his policies.

The press secretary position opened less than two weeks before the upcoming midterm elections as Republicans face potential major losses in polls.

Top potential candidates to succeed Zacharia include White House principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, CNN commentator Scott Jennings, and Elizabeth Pipko.
