What do we know about her and how is she performing so far?

Mary Margaret Olohan (4:12)

Yes. So yesterday, White House press secretary Katie Zachariah held her first briefing at 930 a.m. ET at the White House. I was there, of course, in our seat, our hard earned seat. I like to remind everyone. Thank you for your support. And we were there. And this was a really interesting briefing because it only lasted 14 minutes, which is very, very unusual.
