White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 28, the youngest in history to hold the role, has welcomed her second child — a baby girl — this week, prompting celebrations across Washington and inside the White House.
As Leavitt begins maternity leave, the administration has unveiled an eye-catching plan to keep the briefing room running. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and senior Cabinet officials are reportedly set to step behind the podium as guest hosts, sending the D.C. press corps into a buzz.
With the self-described “Voice of the Administration” focused on her newborn, Washington now braces for what promises to be an unscripted and energetic briefing room experience under some of America’s most powerful figures.
The White House has not yet confirmed a full guest host schedule.
