President Donald Trump campaigned in Georgia to back Republican nominees, a political push that coincided with turmoil inside his administration. The White House confirmed that Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is leaving her position after serving for just five days on the job.
The sudden departure makes Zacharia's tenure one of the shortest in modern presidential history. News of her exit emerged as the president maintained an active schedule focused on upcoming midterm races, traveling to rally support for GOP candidates.
Meanwhile, political developments continued across other key races, including a final debate in Maine between five-term Republican incumbent Senator Susan Collins and her Democratic challenger, Troy Jackson. As the midterm elections approach, administration officials have not yet announced a permanent replacement for Zacharia following her swift departure from the White House press office.
