Iowa Congressman Steve King says he might be interested in a new position next year — in Donald Trump’s administration.

 

King points to the Homeland Security agency as a place that might lure him away from serving in the House. Trump did a fundraiser for King’s 2014 reelection campaign, but King wound up endorsing Ted Cruz before the 2016 Iowa Caucuses.

The pollster King has used for a dozen years is Kellyanne Conway. In August, Conway took over as Trump’s campaign manager. King says Conway is “brilliant.”

 

King considers Conway a leading contender to be the press secretary for President-elect Trump because of her “utility” as a communicator.
