- On Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the birth of her daughter, Viviana, born on May 1st. Leavitt said in an Instagram post that Viviana is "perfect and healthy" and her big brother is "joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister."
- While Leavitt is on maternity leave with her second child, the White House has requested Cabinet members assist with press briefings to maintain daily operations and ensure consistent communication.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio made his debut in the press briefing room on Tuesday, with one White House official calling him "a natural." Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are also expected to appear.

- Less than a week before Viviana's birth, Leavitt attended the White House Correspondents Dinner where entertainer Oz Pearlman, known as "Oz the Mentalist," attempted to guess the baby's name as attendees became aware of a gunman incident.
