Vice President JD Vance returned to the White House press briefing podium Thursday, making his first appearance in the briefing room since Karoline Leavitt departed the press secretary position.
Vance had previously taken part in White House briefings while Leavitt was away on maternity leave, joining several administration officials who rotated through the role during her absence.
Thursday’s appearance marked a return to that setting for the vice president, though this time under different circumstances following Leavitt’s departure from the post.
The White House had previously relied on Vance and other administration officials to address reporters while Leavitt was temporarily away, giving the vice president prior experience fielding questions from the podium.
His Thursday briefing therefore represented a continuation of a role he had occasionally assumed before, while also becoming his first such appearance since the White House press operation changed following Leavitt’s exit.
