Former Representative George Santos (R-N.Y.) publicly signaled his interest in the vacant White House press secretary position on Friday. Santos, who was expelled from Congress in 2023 following a series of ethics investigations and criminal charges, posted on social media that he would "jump to serve" in the role if asked.

In his statement, Santos acknowledged that he is currently employed but suggested he would be willing to leave his current professional commitments to join the administration. The position of White House press secretary is currently open following the exit of Katie Zacharia. While Santos framed his comment as a direct pitch to the administration, there has been no official response from the White House regarding his candidacy or the vacancy. Santos remains a polarizing figure in national politics due to his history of fabricating significant portions of his professional and personal background, which led to his historic expulsion from the House of Representatives.
