Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says she is helping President Donald Trump find his next press secretary after Katie Zacharia lasted only five days. 

Leavitt told Fox News Digital that she had offered Trump her help finding "someone who can serve him and the country well." 

Leavitt served as Trump's press secretary from the start of his second term until Aug. 27, when she resigned to spend more time with her three young children. 

Her successor, political commentator Katie Zacharia, took on the role earlier this month, but she lasted only five days — the shortest period of any White House press secretary in history. 

Speaking from experience, Leavitt said the position is a "tough job."

"Many people say it's one of the hardest jobs in politics," Leavitt told Fox.
