A press briefing is scheduled for Thursday, led by Vice President JD Vance. This event marks the first briefing in over 40 days. The previous press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, departed her role last month and has not been replaced.

The White House may use a rotating group of officials to lead briefings, as was done earlier in the year when Leavitt was absent. Senior administration members, including Vance, have filled in for briefings in the past.

Further details about the briefing and the press secretary role are available from the source, including a related story about Leavitt's departure.
