President Trump named Stephanie Grisham, current Communications Director for First Lady Melania Trump, as the next White House Press Secretary.
Grisham will fill the shoes of outstanding White House Communications Director Sarah Huckabee Sanders who announced her resignation earlier this month.
.@PressSec @SarahHuckabee is a true pro & a dear friend. I will miss her sincere love of country & great sense of humor at the @WhiteHouse – no matter what the future holds, I wish her (and her beautiful family) the very best! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/9svwyjRvpO
