For his successor to outgoing White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, President Trump needed to find a loyal, media savvy operative, who isn't afraid of getting down in the trenches. Here's the untold truth of Stephanie Grisham.
Grisham has a long career working in politics, having served as the spokeswoman for then Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, and the Republican majority at the Arizona House of Representatives, according to the Arizona Republic. Many of Grisham's bosses had nothing but good things to say about her work ethic, with Horne telling the publication:
"She's a great advocate for the person she's working for. She's very friendly [and] easy to be around, and she's very effective."
Grisham also got a taste of the big leagues before working for the Trumps, as she worked on Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.
Grisham is a devoted single mom to two boys, Kurtis and Jake. The political staffer's younger son heavily factored into why she decided to leave her position in President Trump's administration, as deputy press secretary for Sean Spicer, to take the spokesperson job working for Melania Trump.
Grisham explained that the hours aren't quite as long and that the First Lady is supportive of her life as a single mother. She also admitted that some aspects of her rigorous career have been tough since she's often away from her boys.
