She noted that the White House is actively working with Congress to secure funding for essential services, highlighting the importance of maintaining government operations during this period of political uncertainty.
Additionally, Leavitt commented on the Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling regarding tariffs. She stated that the court’s decision could have significant implications for trade policy and international relations, underscoring the administration’s interest in the outcome of this case.
