JD Vance takes over the podium in his first solo White House briefing since the departure of the press secretary, and it is a marathon. He opens with fraud task force wins, over 2,000 shut down fraudulent trucking licenses, and a new 65 billion barrel oil reserve born out of the Venezuela deal, before fielding a genuinely sprawling round of questions. Expect a candid breakdown of the ongoing Strait of Hormuz shipping standoff with Iran, a defense of why gas hasn't hit $3 yet, some surprisingly personal banter about weight loss and sauerkraut, and a firm but friendly response to questions about his friendship with a certain controversial commentator. There's talk of manufacturing's hot streak, Supreme Court packing fears, East Palestine, and even a lighthearted moment about who gets called on without a seating chart. It's policy heavy, occasionally funny, and covers an impressive amount of ground for one afternoon.
