Conservative TV and radio host Ben Ferguson may be named White House press secretary, Fox News reported, citing a source.
According to Fox News, US President Donald Trump is also considering the candidacy of conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings, who worked in the George W. Bush administration. Other contenders include White House communications director Steven Chun, Breitbart News Washington bureau chief Matthew Boyle and former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer.
As the channel points out, the last seven press secretaries of the White House were women. The last person to hold this position was Sean Spicer, who held this position at the beginning of Trump's first term, from January to June 2017.
