The surprise announcement that Sarah Sanders plans to leave the Trump administration has sparked a heated contest to succeed her as White House press secretary, with President Trump telling Fox News a lot of people are angling for the gig.
Speaking to Fox & Friends on Friday, the president declined to name who he is considering for the job but said, I have a lot of people that want it -- a lot of great people -- and sometimes you have so many that makes it more difficult.
Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley, former State Department spokesman Heather Nauert and Melania Trump adviser Stephanie Grisham are among those believed to be under consideration for the role, according to one source close to the White House.
Gidley is close to Sanders, having previously worked on her father Mike Huckabees presidential campaigns. He is currently the principal deputy White House spokesman.
Nauert, a former Fox News journalist, was the top State Department spokesman until she was nominated by Trump to serve as United Nations ambassador. She ended up withdrawing her name from consideration for the U.N. job earlier this year.
Grisham is a top aide and spokeswoman to first lady Melania Trump. Tough, smart, has the confidence of the family, said one former senior Trump adviser.
Asked about the possibility of choosing her during his Fox & Friends interview, Trump said, Stephanie is terrific.
Others believed to be under consideration, according a source, include Tony Sayegh, who left his job as Treasury Department spokesman this week, and State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus, a former Fox News contributor.

The way it works now you only have to do a press briefing about once a quarter. The last one was March 11. That’s a pretty good gig.

Exactly my thought! Whoever is going to do it has got to be among the competitors for “toughest person in the universe,” given the hostility of the press.
