Katie Zakaria began her mission as White House spokeswoman, succeeding Carolyn Levitt, through a press conference, her first, where she revealed that she is the mother of 4 children, including 3 boys, aged between 12, 10, 8, and 6.

She also confirmed that she could not be away from her children for any reason, which prompted her to move them with her.

While talking about reconciling work and motherhood, Zakaria began her answer by thanking her husband, committing a gaffe in which she described him as “the president.”

Then she continued talking about her four children, stressing that the time she spends with them is a priority, and that being away from them at night is something she does not accept.

Zakaria also indicated that her husband came with the children, and that the family intends to move to Washington.

In a tone of gratitude, she praised her husband's support and help at this stage, realizing that reconciling the responsibilities of the position with the needs of the children required a joint effort.

Zakaria did not present balance as an easy task, as she knows that the work will be difficult, but she stressed that the family will remain a priority, and that she wants to keep her children close to her professional life.

This arrangement has roots in her past experience. Zakaria stayed at home to care for her children between 2014 and 2020, before returning to work and trying to involve them in its details.

She also retrieved pictures of her with them behind the scenes of her media appearances, indicating that taking children into the world of work is not a new idea for her, even if the current task is more crowded and sensitive.

In addition, she praised the support of Caroline Levitt, who gave her advice on combining the demands of work and family life, and praised Trump's understanding of being a mother of four children.

Ironically, Leavitt left the position in August to spend more time with her two children. As for her successor, she is entering the experiment with a plan based on bringing the family closer to the workplace.

It is noteworthy that Zakaria is a lawyer who previously appeared as a commentator on Fox News and Newsmax, and worked as a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.

Before being selected for the position, she was also a communications consultant for the Trump Media and Technology Group, which owns the Truth Social platform.
