Katie Zacharia's first appearance behind the White House press podium took an unexpected turn when President Donald Trump's new press secretary referred to her husband as 'my president' before correcting herself. The moment drew laughter, but the 14-minute briefing also offered an early look at how she intends to approach a role that demands both political messaging and answers to difficult questions.
'The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is completely unacceptable,' Zacharia said while discussing the challenge of managing the job alongside family life. She then mistakenly said 'my president' before correcting herself, 'excuse me, my husband. That's a good one.' The slip prompted laughter in the briefing room.
