At 1:41, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt introduced Vivian Sleeth, a 9-year-old Florida girl who is living with brain cancer.

In a mock press conference, Vivian took questions at the podium in the Brady Press Briefing room for about 5 minutes.

Reporters asked about subjects like Vivian’s family and pets, her favorite foods, and what she would do as president. Her mother, Brittany, shared that Vivian has a giving spirit and when her last day of radiation was celebrated with cupcakes, she handed them out to others.
