Katie Zacharia appeared at the podium to introduce herself as the new White House press secretary Tuesday, but instead sparked questions from some administration allies about whether she was ready to step into one of the world’s most scrutinized jobs.⁠ ⁠ She read directly from a list of President Trump’s accomplishments, her voice at times halting.
