Trump Aide Emerges as Dark-Horse Press Secretary Contender Despite White House Clashes

  • On Tuesday, Fox News reported that President Donald Trump "is closing in" on naming a new press secretary, with conservative commentator Ben Ferguson emerging as a frontrunner for the position.
  • The search follows the departure of Katie Zacharia, who lasted just five days in the job after facing criticism over her performance and legal credentials.
  • Sources told reporters that President Trump's "instincts are to pick a man," with other potential candidates including White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, Breitbart chief Matthew Boyle, and Ari Fleischer.
  • CNN commentator Scott Jennings has long been considered a frontrunner for the role, while Sean Spicer, who served as press secretary in Trump's first administration, remains a historical reference point.
  • Administration officials dismiss reports of Zacharia lobbying to return, though Trump intends to fill the position soon and has not yet officially selected Ferguson.
