Ben Ferguson may be the new White House press secretary, Fox News reports.
The name of the conservative TV and radio host was mentioned by officials in the US administration in conversations with Donald Trump.
The American leader is also considering the candidacy of CNN columnist Scott Jennings. He previously worked in the administration of the 43rd US President George W. Bush. Other contenders include White House communications director Steven Chun, Breitbart News Washington bureau chief Matthew Boyle and former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer.
As noted by Fox News, the last seven press secretaries to the President of the United States have been women. The last person to hold this position was Sean Spicer, who served at the beginning of Donald Trump's first presidential term, from January to June 2017.
