Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary who never held a press briefing during her nearly nine-month tenure, is leaving President Donald Trump’s communications office to return to the East Wing as First Lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff. This latest administration shake-up, initiated in Mark Meadows’s first full week as White House chief of staff, will see Trump campaign spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany fill the press secretary post. She has previously served as the Republican National Committee’s spokesperson and—perhaps most important for her new line of work—as a token pro-Trump CNN contributor during the 2016 race, who often found herself vastly outnumbered in the network’s partisan panel “food fights.” The latter part of McEnany’s résumé makes her an ideal Trump press secretary, as it would seem the position’s most vital role is defending the president on cable news.

As the New York Times reports, it’s unclear if “McEnany will revive the traditional role of a White House press secretary,” which includes “answering questions from reporters in a daily briefing,” but Meadows does want her to have a TV presence. McEnany could follow in the footsteps of Grisham, who avoided daily briefings while routinely appearing on Fox News. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, her predecessor, began the White House’s ongoing 394-day streak without a press secretary briefing toward the end of her tenure, before joining Fox News herself.

Grisham’s exit comes after White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, one of the administration’s coronavirus response chiefs thanks to his position as first son-in-law, attempted to bench the now outgoing press secretary by cutting her out of messaging changes and emerging plans, as my colleague Gabriel Sherman reported last week. During her sidelining, Grisham, whose loyalty to the Trumps dates back to the 2016 campaign, stopped appearing at meetings among senior staff and provided limited contributions in the White House’s wide-sweeping coronavirus work. “Jared doesn’t tell Grisham what he’s working on. At this point Stephanie has just given up,” a source close to Grisham told Sherman, a claim that White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley vehemently denied.

In a fitting ending for a White House press secretary who wholly avoided briefing the press corps while largely seeking out softball hits on sympathetic programs, Grisham, in one of her final acts last week, extended an invitation for Trump’s coronavirus pressers to One America News Network’s Chanel Rion after the reporter was banned for flouting attendance rules. Namely, Rion made standing briefing appearances on days the WHCA had not assigned her, which went against social distancing guidelines that severely limit how many in-room correspondents can attend. But Grisham shrugged off the WHCA decision and personally re-invited Rion—a conspiracist who promoted a theory claiming coronavirus is a bioweapon created with help from the White House’s own Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The Meadows-led turnover on Tuesday, which was preceded by former White House deputy communications director Jessica Ditto’s abrupt resignation last week, will also insert Defense Department spokesperson Alyssa Farah and Meadows congressional aide Ben Williamson into the White House communication lineup. Both have long-standing relationships with Meadows, according to the Times.

The most high-profile addition is McEnany, who more than anything else, has proven to be one of Trump’s most enthusiastic, consistent foot soldiers on one of his favorite media battlefields: daytime cable news. When the president was still writing off the coronavirus in late February as “very much under control in the USA,” McEnany told__Trish Regan__—who parted ways with Fox Business last month after downplaying the outbreak—that America will never “see diseases like the coronavirus come here…and isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama.”

During the five weeks since that remark, the U.S. COVID-19 death toll has skyrocketed past 12,000 and nearly 384,000 cases have been reported. In another McEnany coronavirus take that has aged as well as Regan’s TV career, the 31-year-old defended Trump’s insistence on “proceeding” with massive rallies during a Fox Business hit. “Look, Joe Biden—he’s suspending his rallies. He’s been dying to get off the campaign trail,” she told host Stuart Varney, before suggesting the Biden campaign’s main concern was not the health of rallygoers amid a global pandemic, but rather that “the man can only speak for seven minutes.”
