White House Holds Mock Press Briefing to Honor ‘Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day’
- On May 20, 2025, children of White House journalists and staff conducted a mock press conference in the White House's designated press room in Washington, DC.
- This event marked the annual workday inviting children to accompany their parents to the White House and was held following a reception hosted by First Lady Melania Trump in the East Garden.
- Karoline Leavitt spent about 15 minutes responding to inquiries from children, including a lighthearted question about President Trump’s preferred candies and a sensitive topic she chose not to address.
- When asked by a child which of Trump's children was his favorite, Leavitt laughed and declined to respond, saying the question was too sensitive to answer.
- The event showcased a lighter side of White House communications while highlighting Melania Trump's active role in hosting activities for children of all ages that day.
