And he wasn't rejected, but we felt it would be very it would be hard. And we have somebody else that will be announcing over the next two days who's going to be great."The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.This is a breaking story that will be updated.Fox News' Emma Colton contributed to this report.
