Quote from a WH official just now following Katie Zacharia's first press briefing:

"Getting behind the podium is tough, but she got off on the wrong foot. She needs to get much better, fast, otherwise she'll break Scaramucci's record."

By my count, eight separate protests during Trump’s rally in San Antonio. I’ve covered hundreds of his events and most I’ve personally seen.

NEW: Laura Loomer is expected to travel with President Trump on Air Force One to Alabama this afternoon, per a source familiar.

Loomer’s previous meetings with Trump have been consequential. Last year Trump fired six national security staffers following a meeting with Loomer in the Oval Office where she presented opposition research against the individuals.
