## Resource

Vice President JD Vance is taking the mic at the White House press briefing room after a 42-day hiatus, stepping in for former press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who left last month to focus on her family. Leavitt, who briefly returned in June, joked that President Trump is his own best spokesperson — and even said he’s the real communications director. Trump himself teased that Leavitt’s departure sparked a flood of job applications, calling the role “very glamorous.” With no official successor announced yet, the spotlight is on who’ll fill the critical press secretary role next — especially as Trump continues to dominate the messaging.
