Katie Zacharia may be trying to regain her short-lived role as White House press secretary.
In a New York Post article published on Monday, November 9, three sources close to President Donald Trump claimed Zacharia — who was axed from the position after just days — has been trying to get back in the good graces of the commander in chief, 80, and his newly appointed chief of staff, Stephen Miller, to get her job back.
One source claimed that Zacharia anchoring the Right Side Broadcasting Network for the midterm elections was in hopes that the president would want to work with her again, telling the outlet, “She said it out loud. It’s absurd. Truly embarrassing.”

Over the weekend, Zacharia was seen at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, and a source said she was seen “staring at [Trump] trying to get his attention.”
“She will never go back. [Trump] thinks she’s a joke. She has zero chance of that,” the source added. “He has been saying she’s a train wreck.”
A White House official called her “psychotic” to the New York Post and alleged she “thinks she did a good job at her one briefing” in October. She was fired shortly after.

However, an insider close to Zacharia claimed: “I am 1,000 percent certain Katie Zacharia has no interest in going and being the press secretary at the White House.”
The Republican Party faced a crushing defeat during the midterm elections, with the Democrats taking control of the House and Senate.
