Andrew Ferguson, a former aide to Senate Republican Mitch McConnell,
was recommended to the White House for the role by McConnell, the
report said.
McConnell's office did not immediately respond to a request for
comment and the White House did not immediately comment.
The development comes after Christine Wilson, the sole Republican on
the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), said earlier this week that
she will resign soon.
Wilson did not give a date of her resignation in an opinion piece in
the Wall Street Journal.
