Vance to give White House’s first press briefing in more than 40 days
The briefing returns after a 40-day pause as the White House seeks a replacement for Karoline Leavitt, who left last week.
- The White House scheduled a press briefing for Thursday, ending more than 40 days without a formal session since July 23. NBC News chief White House correspondent Garrett Haake reported the briefing will proceed despite the vacant press secretary position.
- Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stepped down last week to focus on her family, leaving the podium vacant. Her departure followed her return from maternity leave after the birth of her second child in May.
- Despite the lack of formal briefings, President Donald Trump has maintained regular access for reporters during Oval Office events and aboard Air Force One. Trump has also communicated directly through his Truth Social platform.
- It remains unclear who will host Thursday's session as the administration has not confirmed a successor. Potential candidates include White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly, and CNN contributor Scott Jennings.
- Trump has signaled no urgency in filling the role, noting he sees himself as 'his own best spokesperson.' Last month, he told reporters he has 'never had so many job applications in my life' for the position.
