Vice President Vance to Host First White House Press Briefing in Over 40 Days
The White House has announced that Vice President JD Vance will conduct a press briefing on Thursday, marking the first such event in more than a month. The announcement follows the recent departure of former press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to host a White House press briefing this Thursday at 1:00 PM, according to an official announcement from the White House Press Office. This event will be the first formal press briefing held by the administration since July, ending a hiatus of more than 40 days.
The announcement was made via the White House’s official account on the social media platform X on Wednesday. The briefing comes during a period of transition within the administration’s communications team, as it follows the final day of former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. While the announcement confirms the timing and the host, it does not specify the topics Vance intends to address during the session. The return to regular briefings is expected to draw significant attention from the press corps, given the extended period of time that has passed since the last official update from the podium.
