Stephanie Grisham is out as White House press secretary and will be repalced by Kayleigh McEnany without having ever held a single press briefing.
Grisham, who replaced Sarah Huckabee Sanders last June, will return to the East Wing as First Lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff, without having ever held a press briefing, the White House announced Tuesday.
“I am excited to welcome Stephanie back to the team in this new role,” a statement from the first lady read, “She has been a mainstay and true leader in the Administration from even before day one, and I know she will excel as Chief of Staff.”
McEnany, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, will take her place, the New York Times reported. A longtime Trump associate tells The Post that there had been speculation for weeks that Grisham was on her way out of the press secretary role.
Adding to that speculation, the first lady reportedly still spoke to Grisham on a near daily basis after originally leaving the chief of staff role, according to CNN.
Grisham and Trump previously worked together when she served as the first lady’s communications director before becoming press secretary.
Newly-installed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is behind the shakeup, according to sources.

Trump Has a New Press Secretary: Kayleigh McEnany, a Campaign Spokeswoman
Sounds like she has a wonderful relationship with Melania.
I wish them both well.
> “Newly-installed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is behind the shakeup, according to sources.”
I don’t think there is any shakeup here. I think Meadows was asked by FLOTUS if he could find a replacement so she could have Grisham back.
As always, the press likes to dramatize simple ordinary change events as somehow earth shattering. Otherwise, it’s hard for them to sell their stuff.
odd that we haven’t seen much of Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, huh?
DJT trusts him so I do too.
That would be great! Haha!
SPLODY HEADS!!! haha!!
Kayleigh is a top class patriot, Christian...and VERY easy on the eyes...
I’ve been a proponent of Dice Clay for press secretary since 2016. Not here obviously.
I vote for Bill Belichick OR the Big Tuna Bill Parcells.
I used to love Parcells press briefings when he was the Pats and Giants coach. “That’s a STUPID question”.
Maybe Bobby Knight too.
Just have them do some guest spots. I bet they could put Jim from CNN in his place.
stoled it!!
Zev (Dr. Zelenko) who discovered the cure for the pandemic (I say that with full knowledge) was brought to Rudy Giuliani.
Rudy brought him to Mark Meadows who quietly brought him to POTUS.
I am informed POTUS had his top military MDs check out the background and veracity of Zev’s cure.
Zev cares for the 40,000+ strong Hasidic community. These people are straightshooters, known for their brains and insight.
Now we know why POTUS is behind the HCQ + Zinc + Z-Pak treatment and why Fauci and the vaccine lobby of Bill Gates are going crazy over it.
And Meadows is the connection. He works quietly. I like that.
“I wish them both well.”
Ditto. Godspeed to both ladies.
Why? Does Trump even need a press secretary? He seems more than capable of handling his own communications.
Who it was that financially supported BH precludes PDJT from ever giving AJ the time of day.
But we all would love to see the "splody heads," nonetheless.
Trump should consider a press secretary before he chokes someone out, WWE style.
