During a recent press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced a challenging moment when she was unable to provide a pre-prepared response to a question from Reuters correspondent Jeff Mason regarding the South Korean election results. Leavitt's reliance on a slimmer briefing binder was evident as she shuffled through it but ultimately admitted she did not have the statement on hand. This incident highlights the contrast with her predecessors, who typically came well-equipped with scripted responses, underscoring the importance of preparation in such high-stakes environments. A follow-up email from the White House asserted that the US-ROK alliance remains strong amid concerns about foreign influences on democracy.
Leavitt's binder failed her spectacularly when Reuters correspondent Jeff Mason asked for a White House reaction to the election results in South Korea.
While Leavitt is known to rely less on the briefing book, every once in a while, the thing comes in handy but only if you've done the preparation.

The US-ROK Alliance remains ironclad. The United States remains concerned and opposed to Chinese interference and influence in democracies around the world.
