White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham says that she has no plans to resume daily briefings, saying they were canceled because they had become “a lot of theater.”

Grisham made the comment on Sept. 23 during an appearance on Fox & Friends, when she was asked whether the press briefings would return. The White House hasn’t had a daily press briefing since March when former press secretary Sarah Sanders was still in the role.
