Katie Zacharia came under scrutiny for her legal credentials shortly after her first press briefing on Tuesday. Win McNamee/Getty Images President Donald Trump chose Katie Zacharia to serve as the new White House press secretary. After five days, a White House official said that she is "transitioning out" of the role. Zacharia is among three other former press secretaries with tenures lasting under two months. Katie Zacharia's first briefing as President Donald Trump's press secretary was on Tuesday. By Friday, the White House confirmed she was out. The record five-day tenure came after days of missteps by Zacharia, and amid two watchdog groups filing complaints with the State Bar of California on Wednesday, asking it to investigate whether she violated California law by calling herself a lawyer. While the longest-serving press secretary was Stephen Early, who held the post for 12 years under Franklin D. Roosevelt, only four press secretaries have lasted under two months. Here's a closer look at White House press secretaries with the shortest tenures. Katie Zacharia Katie Zacharia served as press secretary under Donald Trump for five days. Samuel Corum/Pool/FTWP Katie Zacharia made her White House press briefing debut on Tuesday and quickly came under intense scrutiny over her legal credentials. Shortly after Tuesday's briefing, she was asked which state she passed the bar exam in and replied: "When I moved to China." On Thursday in an interview with right-wing provocateur Jack Posobiec, Zacharia said she took the bar exam but failed, and never retook it. Zacharia moved to China after earning her law degree in 2011, and told Posobiec she had already preregistered for the bar exam before moving to Beijing, where her husband was working at an American private equity firm. "I didn't want to withdraw from that," Zacharia said of the bar exam. "And we knew we would be moving out to China, and I was obviously incredibly distracted and overwhelmed and excited for finally being married to someone who I had been long-distance from for at least a year." She served as press secretary between October 12 and October 16. Stephen Early Stephen Early served as Franklin D. Roosevelt's press secretary for 12 years. He briefly served as acting press secretary under Harry S. Truman in December 1950 for 14 days. Original Caption Stephen Early is both the longest-serving press secretary in US history and the press secretary with the second-shortest tenure. He was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's press secretary for 12 years, from 1933 to March 1945. Early then briefly returned as acting press secretary under President Harry S. Truman in December 1950 after the death of press secretary Charles Ross. Early was in the position for 14 days, from December 5 to December 18, 1950. Jerald TerHorst Gerald TerHorst served as press secretary under President Gerald Ford for 31 days. UPI/Bettmann Archive/Getty Images Jerald TerHorst served as President Gerald Ford's press secretary for over one month, from August 9 to September 8, 1974. He resigned in protest of Ford's pardon of former President Richard Nixon following the Watergate scandal. TerHorst said he could not defend Ford's decision in good conscience, despite his long-standing friendship with the president.

Keystone-France/Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images Jonathan Daniels served a short tenure as press secretary at the end of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency and at the beginning of Harry S. Truman's. That brings his tenure to 48 days, from March 29 to May 15, 1945. He was appointed shortly before Roosevelt's death and stayed on temporarily to help Truman transition into the presidency. Truman then selected Charles Ross as Daniels' replacement. Read the original article on Business Insider

Katie Zacharia left her White House press secretary job after five days. Anthony Scaramucci, who also had a short tenure in the Trump administration in 2017. Dustin Chambers/Bloomberg via Getty Images Katie Zacharia left her White House press secretary job after five days. Anthony Scaramucci can relate. The internet is awash with memes that measured Zacharia's run in "Scaramuccis." Katie Zacharia’s run as White House press secretary lasted five days, and memes about her exit are rolling in. There is someone who can relate: Anthony Scaramucci, whose brief stint as Trump’s White House communications director in July 2017 became a pop-culture unit of time — a “Scaramucci,” or “Mooch” — for measuring short-lived political appointments. Scaramucci held the role for roughly 10 days — six if not including the time lapsed between Trump's announcement and his first day — before Trump fired him. Scaramucci has been following Zacharia's journey closely and, in a series of tweets, has gone from wishing her well to offering advice. It started on Thursday, when Scaramucci placed his bet that Zacharia would "make it." She will make it. I have the over. https://t.co/AeDXFPKFvP — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) October 16, 2026 The bet on Zacharia was short-lived. By mid-Friday, Scaramucci was addressing her departure. Records are made to be broken. But I take no pleasure in other people's pain. https://t.co/kDIRWj9Rta — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) October 16, 2026 Scaramucci also offered Zacharia direct advice. Dear @katiezacharia — speaking as the world's leading expert on short White House tenures: turn off the news and go enjoy your family. In time you’ll realize that the Universe did you a major favor. — Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) October 16, 2026 Meanwhile, the internet has been creating math equations over how many "Scaramuccis" Zacharia had lasted, suggesting she become the new benchmark. Half of a Scaramucci is called a Zacharia. — Covie (@covie_93) October 16, 2026 If the counting began Monday morning, October 12, when she stepped to the podium: https://t.co/aZAGkIrhRC pic.twitter.com/digu9nmaOY — Jake Tapper 🦅 (@jaketapper) October 16, 2026 Workers have long been told to stay in a job for at least a year to avoid looking uncommitted to future employers. A string of short stints can still raise eyebrows, but the dates on a résumé don’t always tell the whole story. Leadership consultants have previously told Business Insider that quick moves that come with more responsibility and opportunities to build skills can strengthen a résumé, in which quick changes in roles could be seen as a sign of ambition and adaptability rather than instability. Zacharia succeeded Karoline Leavitt, who left in August to spend more time with her young children. She became Trump’s sixth press secretary across his two terms, and the fourth to last less than a year. While there is helpful career advice out there for Zacharia, a LinkedIn profile picture of Zacharia with the infamous "#Opentowork" tag has also taken off on X. The tweet was originally posted by the Democrats' official account. Already 😭 https://t.co/Fnmd0cpN9Q pic.twitter.com/a57QsCFQba — Democrats (@TheDemocrats) October 16, 2026 The green tag itself has been a much-debated topic on the professional networking platform. Some recruiters have previously told Business Insider that the label is the "biggest red flag" to hiring managers because it suggests "desperation." Data from 2024, however, show that workers with the public green tag receive 40% more messages from LinkedIn Recruiter than those who use only the private signal.

Owen Dahlkamp / Politico: Sources: Anthropic pitched its own AI safety bill to US lawmakers; the bill would limit the circumstances in which the government could block a model's release  —  Representatives for the artificial intelligence giant Anthropic have quietly pitched Capitol Hill lawmakers on a draft bill …

Attendees chat at Anthropic's developer conference in May. Don Feria/AP Content Services for Anthropic Anthropic published new surveys comparing its staffers' sentiments to those of US workers. The AI startup's employees expect the tech to change work and the economy far more dramatically. Most Anthropic employees guessed that unemployment would top 12% in 2030. Anthropic employees believe that AI will make their labor obsolete. Most US workers don't see their jobs that way at all. The AI company published research on Friday that compares surveys with US adults against an internal poll of 1,334 Anthropic employees. Most of the Anthropic staffers said AI will handle at least 80% of their jobs by 2030, while only about 5% of the US workers felt the same. The research, titled "The AI expectations gap," shows the chasm between how the employees at the AI startup feel and how other American adults feel. Anthropic workers are far more optimistic about the progress of AI capabilities, how much it's already saving time, and how fast the economy will grow. The median Anthropic employee said that by the end of 2030, they expect AI to handle 95% of the work of building a new AI model. Peter McCrory, Anthropic's chief economist, wrote on X that the views might help outsiders prepare for more capable AI systems. "We're publishing this research because Anthropic runs roughly a year and a half ahead of the economy on AI adoption, so what happens at Anthropic could be a leading indicator for the broader world," he said. Anthropic workers expect higher unemployment and extreme GDP growth Anthropic's surveys examined how workers already use AI and how they think it will change. "US adults and Anthropic staff largely agree about what AI can do today," the researchers wrote. "However, they disagree about how quickly it will improve, how widely it will be used, and how large the productivity gains measured by time saved will be." There are a few possible explanations for the discrepancies. Anthropic employees have larger budgets for the tools and often get access to unreleased models. US workers, on average, are more likely to work with their hands or in a service industry. The researchers found that workers in manual trades, production, and transport thought AI would handle the least of their work by 2030, compared with Anthropic staffers, tech workers, and respondents in business and finance. Most Anthropic employees surveyed said that they expect the unemployment rate to top 12% in 2030. The majority of the US workers thought it would hover around or under 8%. It's currently 4.2%. So far, researchers have found mixed evidence on AI disrupting the job market — a Yale team recently found it had mainly changed jobs, and had "no connection" to changes in unemployment. The Anthropic researchers also compiled survey responses to estimate predictions on economic growth. Based on their answers, the median US adult's guess for GDP growth in 2030 was 5.4%, compared with 17.1% among Anthropic employees. The country's GDP grew by 2.2% last year. Anthropic's staffers are following their leader Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has become one of the industry's most closely watched voices on labor upheaval. In March of 2025, he said he expected AI to write 90% of code within 6 months, and "essentially all of the code" within the year. He made more headlines that May, telling Axios that AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years and lift unemployment to 10% or 20%. Amodei expanded on that claim in a later essay, writing that he expects AI to be different from prior technological changes. He wrote that he expects an "unprecedented" short-term shock to labor, and that the economy will grow dramatically. "AI isn't a substitute for specific human jobs but rather a general labor substitute for humans," he wrote. Have a tip?

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia held her first conference on Tuesday and left the role three days later. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Katie Zacharia is out as White House press secretary after five days on the job. That's likely a record for the shortest-serving White House press secretary in history. Here are 10 other things that last longer than Zacharia's time in the White House. Katie Zacharia is out as White House press secretary after five days on the job, officials confirmed on Friday. The lawyer-ish-person-turned-White House spokesperson had a rocky debut at the podium on Tuesday, during which she stumbled over prepared remarks and later raised eyebrows after she told a reporter that she passed the bar in China. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he told Zacharia to reconsider the role. Later that day, a White House official told Business Insider that Zacharia was "transitioning out" of the position. By standards of the Trump White House, which had a notorious revolving door during the first go-round, that's pretty short. There are a lot of other things that lasted longer than Zacharia's tenure. Here are 10 of them. Anthony Scaramucci as White House comms director: 10 days Anthony Scaramucci at a White House press briefing. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Scaramucci's firing in July 2017 became a spectacle, not least in part because of his notably short tenure. First came a profanity-laced call to a New Yorker reporter, in which Scaramucci badmouthed some of his colleagues in the White House. Then came John F. Kelly, laying down the law in the West Wing by firing Scaramucci and making an example of him on his first day on the job as chief of staff. Sally Yates as acting attorney general: 10 days Former acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Sally Yates lasted exactly One Mooch. Yates was a holdover from the second Obama Administration, taking on the AG role after Loretta Lynch stepped down at Trump's inauguration in 2017. Her position as attorney general was expected to be short. Still, acting AGs from the previous administration typically held on to their roles until the incoming president picked a new attorney general, who would then be confirmed by the Senate. Yates was fired after she told the Justice Department not to defend Trump's first travel-ban executive order. Jerald TerHorst as WH press secretary: 31 days Jerald terHorst UPI/Bettmann Archive/Getty Images After Zacharia, TerHorst takes the record for the second shortest-serving White House press secretary. TerHorst served under President Gerald Ford from August 9, 1974, to September 8, 1974. He resigned in protest after Ford granted Richard Nixon a full pardon. Liz Truss as Britain's prime minister: 49 days Liz Truss Yui Mok/PA Images via Getty Images An opinion piece in The Economist quipped that Truss' premiership will have the "shelf-life of a lettuce." The comment came after Truss's economic package immediately unnerved investors, sending the pound and government-bond markets spiraling. Thus, the lettuce meme was born. On October 14, 2022, Daily Star, a tabloid newspaper, was inspired by The Economist's comment and set up a livestream of a lettuce wearing a wig: "Will Liz Truss outlast this lettuce?" She didn't. Truss resigned six days later. She was the PM from September 6 to October 25, 2022. A hard-boiled egg in the fridge: 7 days Hard-boiled eggs Ricardo DeAratanha/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images Keeping in theme with the foods that last longer than political positions: The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service says a hard-boiled egg can be stored in the fridge for up to seven days. Lady Jane Grey as Queen of England: 9 days A portrait of Lady Jane Grey The Print Collector/Getty Images Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed queen on July 10, 1553, but her half-sister, Mary — the eldest daughter of Henry VIII — gathered enough political support to overthrow her. Mary would claim the crown on July 19, 1553. Grey became known as the "Nine Days Queen" and was executed by beheading in 1554. Apollo 11: 8 days Astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the moon. NASA/Newsmakers The Apollo 11 crew spent more time in space than Zacharia did as the press secretary: 8 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes, and 35 seconds to be exact. We can dig in more. Zacharia's first press briefing lasted about 14 minutes, according to recordings. Neil Armstrong spent more time walking on the moon: 2 hours, 31 minutes, and 37 seconds, a NASA report said. Buzz Aldrin was on the moon for about 40 minutes less, according to the report. Six-Day War: You can guess A member of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) raises the brigade flag. Dan Porges/Getty Images The 1967 conflict between Israel and neighboring Arab states was so short that its duration became its namesake. The war lasted from June 5 to June 10, 1967. Apple TV+ free trial: 7 days Apple TV logo Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images You have more time to binge-watch "Severance" or "Ted Lasso" on Apple TV than Zacharia had time in the White House. Maybe we shouldn't point this out unless we want Apple to realize there are shorter things than the company's free-trial policy. Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries: 72 days Chris Humphries and Kim Kardashian Paul Drinkwater/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank Reality TV star Kim Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries on August 20, 2011. She filed for divorce on October 31, 2011. To be fair, this may still be more of a reflection on Kardashian than on Zacharia. You would hope a marriage lasts longer than five days, right? Then again, this is the longest thing on the list, so you go, Kim! Read the original article on Business Insider
