Stephanie Grisham is stepping down as White House press secretary and rejoining the first lady’s office as chief of staff and spokeswoman.

“I am excited to welcome Stephanie back to the team in this new role,” first lady Melania 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.”

The abrupt move comes less than a year after she took the job. Grisham previously worked as the communications director for Melania Trump before replacing Sarah Sanders as White House press secretary last summer.

Her departure, coming amid the coronavirus pandemic, creates an opening for what would be President Trump’s fourth press secretary before the end of his first term.

In the first lady's office, Grisham will take over for Lindsay Reynolds, who resigned earlier this week.
