\nWhite House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders would not say directly whether President Donald Trump has confidence in his chief of staff Thursday.
During the White House daily press briefing, ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked Sanders about Trump’s feelings on Reince Priebus.
\u00ab\u00a0Look, I think I’ve addressed this question when it comes to staffing and personnel many times, that if the president doesn’t, then he’ll make that decision, \u00a0\u00bb Sanders said. \u00ab\u00a0We all serve at the pleasure of the president, and if it gets to a place where that isn’t the case, he’ll let you know.\u00a0\u00bb
When pressed to say more on the topic, Sanders replied, \u00ab\u00a0This is a White House that has a lot of different perspectives, because the president hires the very best people. They’re not always going to agree, there are going to be a lot of different ideas.\u00a0\u00bb
Sanders noted there is \u00ab\u00a0healthy competition\u00a0\u00bb between members of the White House staff, which she said yields \u00ab\u00a0the best results.\u00a0\u00bb
News reports claim there is friction between Scaramucci and Priebus, so much so Priebus could eventually depart from his West Wing post. Scaramucci is actually rumored to be a potential candidate for the next White House chief of staff.<\/p>\n
