White House holds press briefing as Walz joins Harris ticket

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will deliver a press briefing Tuesday afternoon.

Jean-Pierre is likely to be asked about the new Democratic presidential ticket after Vice President Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate.

The possibility of a wider Middle East war, and an Iran attack on Israel, is also almost certain to come up after the assassination in Tehran last week of a top leader of Hamas.

The Oval Office and Pentagon are also faced with how best to calm tensions in the region to prevent an all-out war launched by Iran and its allies against Israel.

Tuesday’s briefing is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. EDT.
