Among the names frequently mentioned are Alina Habba, a former personal lawyer for Trump who now serves as a federal prosecutor, Katie Miller, a conservative podcaster and former communications director for former Vice President Mike Pence, Anna Kelly, the current deputy press secretary, Sage Steele, a conservative media figure and former television anchor, Steven Cheung, the current communications director, and Scott Jennings, a political commentator and senior contributor at CNN.
