A podium she hasn't stood at since April
Karoline Leavitt stepped back to the White House lectern Thursday for the first time since going on maternity leave in late April, following the May 1 birth of her daughter, Viviana. She'd made a brief, one-off return in late April to address the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and she'd been photographed traveling with the president in June — but Thursday marked her first full sit-down with the press corps in nearly three months. She opened by thanking reporters and reflecting on juggling motherhood with the job.
