Vice President Steps In as Press Secretary Vacancy Looms | Harrisburg News

Vice President JD Vance took the stage at a White House press briefing — his first in over six weeks — as the search for a permanent press secretary continues after Karoline Leavitt’s unexpected exit. Leavitt, who returned from maternity leave but chose to step down to focus on family, joked that President Trump is his own best spokesperson — a remark that apparently sparked a flood of applicants for the role, with Trump calling it “the most glamorous job in Washington.” Names like Scott Jennings and Steven Cheung are rumored to be in the running, but no official announcement has been made. With Vance stepping in again to fill the void, the administration is navigating a critical transition while keeping the public messaging on track.
