Ned Price, the nation's first openly gay State Department spokesperson is set to give his first press briefing at 12 pm ET.
ABC News on Price's historic appointment: “That the voice of the Biden administration on the world stage, whose words will be analyzed in foreign capitals and provide direction for U.S. diplomats overseas, will be a gay man is unremarkable, which is itself a remarkable thing. It also sends a potent message to foreign LGBTQ activists, especially those fighting in countries where same-sex relationships are still criminalized.”
Price previously served in a senior communications role for White House National Security Council in the Obama administration and has been a correspondent for NBC News.
