Sanders gives White House briefing in surprise sub for Spicer

Deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders subbed for Sean Spicer at Tuesday’s daily press briefing.

Sanders’s surprise appearance came as Spicer, who was scheduled to lead the briefing, was on Capitol Hill with other White House officials trying to salvage the Senate GOP’s healthcare plan.
