Bessent STEPS IN for Leavitt and immediately MAKES THE BRIEFING HIS OWN with one PERFECT LINE

Karoline Leavitt recently welcomed her new baby — and the White House press briefing rotation has never been more entertaining. First it was JD Vance. Then Marco Rubio. And now Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stepped behind the podium — and wasted absolutely no time making his presence felt. Three weeks ago, Bessent received an honorary degree from the University of South Carolina. So naturally, when a reporter wanted to get a question in, Bessent had one condition: "If you REALLY want to get a question, call me DOCTOR Bessent." The reporter immediately obliged. "DOCTOR BESSENT!" The room completely lost it. Three different substitutes. Three completely different personalities. And somehow each one more entertaining than the last. Leavitt's maternity leave is producing the best content in Washington. #bessent #viralvideo #viralmoment Enjoy the best news, including top sports stories and the latest updates on video, on our website: https://en.as.com/videos/?omnil=mpal
