White House Press Secretary Role Vacant; Trump, Vance, Blanche Rotate Briefings

The White House has operated without a permanent press secretary for a month since Karoline Leavitt's departure, with Attorney General Todd Blanche and Vice President J.D. Vance alternating briefings. This marks a deviation from standard White House communications structure, concentrating messaging in the president's inner circle. The arrangement signals a shift toward direct, personalized communication but raises questions about accountability and information flow.
