Conservative commentator Ben Ferguson being pushed for White House Press Secretary role by Trump administration insiders: Report

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering conservative commentator Ben Ferguson as the next White House Press Secretary, according to insiders within his administration. This comes after an unsuccessful attempt to appoint Katie Zacharia, who reportedly had no records of passing the US bar exam. Trump initially mentioned UFC head Dana White as a potential candidate, but dismissed it as a joke.

A source close to Trump revealed that his name had been suggested to the president by several individuals, and the president's instincts were to pick a man for the role. Administration insiders expressed confidence in Ferguson's resume and experience, highlighting his skills as a communicator and his ability to withstand media bias.

While not the only name in the running, Ferguson is considered a frontrunner for the position, alongside other names such as Scott Jennings and Steven Cheung.
