Vice President JD Vance will fill in for Karoline Leavitt at a White House Press Briefing this afternoon as negotiations to end the war in Iran continue.
Trump Administration officials are slated to fill in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt while she is on maternity leave.
Today’s briefing with the Vice President comes amid Trump’s threats to resume the war with Iran at a moments notice due to stalling negotiations.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump on Monday was planning to end the ongoing ceasefire and resume the war after rejecting a Sunday proposal from Iran.
Following intervention by mediators in the Middle East, Trump canceled planned strikes, which he said were scheduled for today. Still, he warned that a “full, large scale assault of Iran” remains ready “on a moment’s notice.”

Trump went on to tell reporters that he was preparing a “very major attack,” but he’s held back “for a little while, hopefully, maybe, forever.”
