White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first briefing Tuesday and kicked it off with huge changes to how she'd conduct briefings.
Leavitt announced that two seats usually reserved for White House staff would become 'new media' seats - and those individuals would get to ask the first questions.
Traditionally the wire service, the Associated Press, gets the first question - while the White House Correspondents' Association dictates which outlets get which seats in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
'Starting today this seat in the front of the room, which is usually occupied by the press secretary's staff, will be called the new media seat,' she said. 'My team will review the applications and give credentials to new media applicants who meet our criteria and pass United States Secret Service requirements to enter the White House complex.'

Great! I'm excited to here from all the new media!
I nominate this social influencer.
The Biden’s are starting to look like Mike TV.
BRILLIANTLY GOOD.
She seems really good.
Not surprisingly, the press corps seem super confrontational to her, in a way they never were with KJP (who seemed intellectually incapable of handling even the slightest pushback from the media).
I saw that thread.
That thang would take up the entire first row.
Waste of time.
Instead I'll invite Charlie Kirk to my office. Discuss Trump's accomplishments in his first week. Post on X and TikTok.
There goes the two seats!
And if I understand, she's only 27.
It was the first for her and the last for me (all of 5 minutes).....I thought we were home free with a press secretary without a grating voice. Instead - what do we get? A person who ends each sentence on the “UP” - each sentence is a question???? No thanks!
Well, we didn’t get the grating voice from the last one either but that one was something else entirely!!!!
while the White House Correspondents’ Association dictates which outlets get which seats in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
Why do these clowns have so much pull inside the White House ? Do they pay rent for that space , otherwise they should not be calling the shots .
THAT CAN’T BE REAL!!!!!!!
Well, don’t watch her. She won’t miss you a bit.
It’s real. She’s suing the Uber driver who refused her because he thought she would blow out his tires and couldn’t fit in his car anyway.
“”Well, don’t watch her.””
Gee - WHY didn’t I think of that!!!
Dang, she’s hot. Not.
The cross she was wearing around her neck scared the presstitutes.
A star is born.
Gee - WHY didn’t I think of that!!!
><
You’re welcome. Lol
Just kidding.
Her knowledge base was excellent, and her handling of the critters was very good considering it was her first “premiere”. I agree that she could use a voice coach to sound more commanding. She could pick it up quickly, though.
