Stephanie Grisham is departing her role as White House press secretary.
Grisham, who never held a news conference in the press secretary role, will return to the East Wing as chief of staff and spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump.
“I am excited to welcome Stephanie back to the team in this new role,” Trump said in a statement Tuesday. “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. I appreciate all that Lindsay Reynolds did over the past three years, and wish her well in her future endeavors.”
Lindsay Reynolds, the first lady’s previous chief of staff, resigned earlier this week to spend more time with her family, Trump said.
President Trump’s new chief of staff Mark Meadows has been considering a shakeup of the communications team in the West Wing. He is considering Trump campaign spokesman Kayleigh McEnany and Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah as replacements.
Grisham has not regularly attended senior staff meetings in recent weeks and has not played a major role in the administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to CNN.
Grisham has been with Trump since his 2016 campaign, when she wrangled the press. She followed Trump to the White House and became a deputy press secretary under Sean Spicer, who was the president’s first White House spokesman before becoming the first lady’s communications director.
Grisham stepped into the press secretary and communications director roles last summer after Sarah Sanders left the White House. Grisham continued serving as the first lady’s communications director.
Grisham was awesome. I have no idea what she looks like.
BRING IN HOPE HICKS!
She doesn’t even have to say anything... just let her stand in front of the microphone!
...He is considering Trump campaign spokesman Kayleigh McEnany and Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah as replacements....
= =
Um, Kayleigh McEnany is also a spokesWOMAN, to whoever wrote this :)
I Hope for Hope as well, this stinks of the White House Correspondents Association.
She will make a great Chief of Staff to FLOTUS. She is extremely loyal, organized and loves The Trumps
TRISH REAGAN is available
Headline, while factual, sort of misleading.
Looks like something NYT or WP would use.
I was very surprised to see Washington Examiner....
The word “spokesman” means the person who does the speaking. Like “human”, it does not have a gender.
kinda Joan Crawford-esque.
Oh, I agree....I’m just pointing out how the PERSON WHO WROTE THE ARTICLE used one gender assignment (spokesman) for Kayleigh and another (spokesWOMAN), for the other gal being considered.
Keep up!
:)
Great description.
A bit of a harsh look.
Seems to have great respect of POTUS/FLOTUS, and, many others.
Kayleigh McEmeny officially names WH spox.
Congrats, Kayleigh!!
I miss the Sarah Huckabee daily press beatings.
Yeah, I figured that after I had posted.
I’m always running to keep up, but I am slow in my old age. :)
