Trump Eyes New Press Secretary Amid Speculation on Male Candidate

2 min read

President Donald Trump is reportedly nearing a decision on his next press secretary, with a male candidate gaining traction within his administration. Following Katie Zacharia’s departure from the role, officials are seeking someone who can ‘break the mold,’ and conservative commentator Ben Ferguson has emerged as a potential frontrunner.

Ben Ferguson Gaining Momentum

According to sources close to the administration, Ferguson’s name has been brought up to the president by multiple individuals. While Trump is not yet fully committed to the idea, the administration is leaning toward selecting a man for the role. A source told Fox News, “[Trump’s] instincts are to pick a man, which many people have told him that’s a good idea.” Another insider confirmed that Trump is still considering male candidates, with Ferguson being a strong contender.

Ferguson, a radio host and conservative commentator, has been mentioned in discussions about the press secretary role, though he has not confirmed speaking directly with Trump. He expressed openness to the position, stating, “I would accept the job if offered.” However, Trump is still weighing his options, with other male candidates also under consideration.

Other Candidates in the Mix

Scott Jennings, a CNN conservative commentator, had been a leading name in the previous search, and Trump still holds him in high regard. While Ferguson is now being considered, Jennings remains a viable option. The administration is also reportedly open to other male candidates, though no names have been disclosed.

Interestingly, Trump had previously joked about appointing UFC president Dana White as press secretary, but quickly retracted the claim. This highlights the ongoing speculation and unpredictability of the administration’s choices.

Speculation and Uncertainty

Despite the growing interest in Ferguson, Trump is not yet fully sold on the idea. However, the administration is reportedly encouraging him to pursue the role, with the president aware of the discussions. The search for a new press secretary continues, with a focus on finding a male candidate who can align with the administration’s messaging and public image.
