Attorney General Todd Blanche to Face Reporters at 2 p.m. as Court Blocks Mail-Ballot Curbs

Summary
Todd Blanche is set to take questions at a 2 p.m. White House briefing in the Rose Garden, an unusual role for an attorney general in place of a departed press secretary.
Monday’s Supreme Court ruling blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to restrict mail-in ballots before the fast-approaching midterm elections, making the decision a likely focus of the session.
Trump reacted angrily on Tuesday, saying the justices who ruled against him were not the people he had “interviewed” for the court.
The appearance continues the administration’s use of senior officials, including Vice President JD Vance, to handle general media briefings after Karoline Leavitt permanently left the post last month.
