Vice President JD Vance will get behind the podium on Tuesday to host his first White House press briefing since press secretary Karoline Leavitt left for maternity leave.

Vance will have a tough act to follow after Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted the first guest briefing and earned widespread praise for his composure and lighthearted banter with the press. Rubio’s time at the podium fueled much more speculation about a possible run for president in 2028, as a video of his “hope for America” answer went viral.
