White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will brief reporters Friday as the House holds its Speakership vote.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is fighting to keep his gavel as roughly a dozen conservatives have been tight-lipped on whether they will support him. At least one lawmaker has already openly voiced his opposition for Johnson.
The briefing also comes after the New Year’s Day attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas have left the U.S. reeling with fear of military extremism and potential political violence.
The attack in Louisiana left 15 dead, including the suspect — a U.S. citizen and former Army soldier — who drove a rented pick-up truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street. Law enforcement found a pro-ISIS flag in his vehicle and past social media posts that were sympathetic to the Islamic State. The man who died in a Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was identified as an active service member.
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden are set to travel to New Orleans next week.
Biden also announced Friday that he will block the sale of U.S. Steel to Japanese-owned Nippon Steel following a yearlong review.
The event is scheduled to begin at 1:15 p.m. EST.

Be Quiet Lady And Just Leave The White House Now…
Cant wait for everyone in the comments to completely buy the verifiable lies of the next speaker, they love being lied to as long as the administration is republican
Gee, I'm going to miss her telling me what i experienced during the imaginary biden presidency.
How phony are these journalists! If Liz Cheney has committed a crime, she must be held responsible. Investigations are the only way to know.
What happened to her DUI accident and why did she get divorced right after it and does she have a problem with alcohol?
The only thing I’m looking forward to are these people finally leaving the White House.
Well spoken nothing. No loss when she's gone.
Our country is less secure due to this administration. What pathetic liars
Try grieving for North Carolina instead of stopping people from coming in and helping
What a failure of an administration
Canary yellow??!! 😳
Now that they are leaving office……now they're going to travel to New Orleans to check on Americans?…..Seriously!!!!
zero – absolute zero credibility to believe any word spoken here. you failed the nation! who writes all this stuff?
Get rid of KJP! She’s a liar, excuse maker, and a tool for the shadow government.
She only speaks for the 12% and 12% is not a majority.
She needs to speak for everyone.
this woman is worthless. years of lying.
I referr you to the TV show blacklist
Who's running the country if Jeremy and Jacob are leaving?
Pretty soon we’ll see her on MSNBC or CNN or NBC
KJP is a terrible liar and that's all she does. 😂🤣
