Katie Zacharia, the newly appointed White House press secretary, took the podium to take questions from reporters during her first press briefing on Tuesday.
Watch in our video player above.
Zacharia started the job Monday after Trump announced last week that he had chosen her to replace Karoline Leavitt, who left the post in August.
Zacharia is a conservative commentator who previously worked as a senior communications adviser for Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind the president's Truth Social platform.
Zacharia starts with prepared remarks on Trump's midterm blitz
Before taking questions from reporters, Zacharia read slowly from an opening statement that began with a focus on Trump's recent campaign rallies ahead of the midterm elections.
Zacharia cited what she called a "blockbuster" rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday along with planned visits to Alaska, Arizona and Montana, where Zacharia said she will join the president.

"He is an energetic president," Zacharia said.
Her prepared remarks went on to cover a range of other topics including Trump's policies on the economy and the U.S. border.
Zacharia's first question is to Breitbart
The new press secretary took her first briefing question from Breitbart News, the right-wing outlet who has become more influential in the Trump era.
Breitbart is sitting in the briefing room as part of the "new media" rotation, which was created under her predecessor to bring additional media outlets into news briefings and the White House press pool.

"We are absolutely going to keep it," Zacharia said of the new media seat. The White House will expand it to the extent possible, she added.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump's ambassador to Greece, is asked to resign
Trump appointee Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, has been asked to resign from her post, Zacharia said, after coming under severe criticism over allegations she has engaged in improper and possibly illegal conduct before and during her tenure in Athens.
Guilfoyle's requested departure comes after its possibility was previewed to The Associated Press over the weekend and the president registered his unhappiness with reports about Guilfoyle's alleged conduct.

"Well, we're looking at it," Trump told reporters on Monday. "We're not happy."
The Associated Press, citing a senior U.S. official, had reported that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle's reported conduct.
New press secretary says her job is to 'amplify' what Trump is doing
At her first news briefing, White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said her job inside the administration would be no different than her advocacy for Trump while outside the government.
"I get to do what I was doing on the outside already, which was hoping to amplify, multiply and expand upon President Trump's incredible agenda for the American people," she said.
Zacharia said her goals is to "amplify" what Trump is doing and that the president is "his own best spokesperson."
