Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle is talking to the Trump administration about becoming White House press secretary, The San Jose Mercury News reported.

Guilfoyle – who was in the running for the job during the presidential transition before it was given to Sean Spicer – told the outlet the idea of her taking the White House post, or another press role, has been "raised by a number of people" in the administration.

"I'm a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country," she told the newspaper. "I think it'd be a fascinating job. It's a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to be able to handle that position."

She also conceded Spicer has been in a "very tough position."

"Sean Spicer is a very nice man and a patriot; he's dedicated himself to this public service," she said, The Mercury News reported.

"Very tough position he's in — I wish him the best, and I know he puts a lot of effort into it."

Despite Guilfoyles recent interview, Fox News says their co-host of "The Five" isn't going anywhere as she's under a long-term contract with the network.

"Kimberly is a valued member of the Fox News primetime lineup, and is under a long-term contract with the network," a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement.

Through a spokesperson, Kimberly Guilfoyle said, "As I stated in the interview, I really love what I do and my job co-hosting  'The Five' is tough to beat."
