As rumors swirl that White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus's is on a glide path out of the Trump administration, a new name has entered the D.C. boilermaker's discussions about who might replace him.

Anthony Scaramucci, who has yet to officially report to work as the new White House communications director, is under consideration to eventually take over Priebus's job, according to Politico.

That scenario 'would likely play out over the fall,' an administration official told DailyMail.com on Monday.

Scaramucci, the aide said, would have to reorganize the communications shop before he tackled the larger job.

The newly minted public face of the West Wing, Scaramucci has promised to fire staffers suspected of leaking to the press, a move that could open up more chairs for him to fill with people loyal to him.

Chief of staff Reince Priebus is looking more and more likely to be headed out the door with Trump's legislative priorities twisting in the wind

Priebus, meanwhile, is losing influence inside the West Wing with the departure of press secretary Sean Spicer and the hiring of Scaramucci, whom Trump brought on board over his strenuous objection.

'His strength was in his people,' a close White House adviser to Trump told Politico of Priebus.

'He didn't have personal clout, he had organizational clout, so losing another staffer is eroding his organizational clout.'

Spicer was the third Priebus loyalist to leave the White House during Trump's first six months as president, following deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh and communications director Mike Dubke.

The West Wing insider told DailyMail.com on Monday that there's 'no reason to believe the president is going to pull the trigger immediately' on replacing Priebus.

'But he's made it known that he wants people vetted before he needs them.'

Those being considered include current chief economic advisor Gary Cohn, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Blackstone Group insider Wayne Berman.

Berman, who chaired Sen. Marco Rubio's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign, was also Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign finance chairman, and a senior adviser to both of George W. Bush's White House runs.

Berman's wife was President George W. Bush's social secretary, and previously served as second lady Lynne Cheney's chief of staff.

A name mentioned 'more this month than last month,' according to an administration official, is David Urban, a former chief of staff to the late Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter.

Urban chaired the statewide campaign that delivered the Keystone State to Trump, and then became one of few reliably pro-Trupm commentators on CNN.

During the campaign season, he and Candidate Trump spoke on the phone almost daily.

Officialy, the White House Press Office – staffed in large part by former Republican National Committee aides whom Spicer hired – is standing by Priebus.

'Reince is focused on driving the president's bold agenda, and that has been and always will be his top priority,' White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters told Politico.

That agenda is mostly tied up in Congress, the milieu where Priebus is most comfortable and was expected to be most helpful.

But with Obamacare replacement legislation on the ropes and no sign of a tax reform package on the horizon, the chief of staff's practical utility is called into question daily by the White House's non-Reince-loyalists.

Factions have grown inside the West Wing surrounding Priebus, Steve Bannon and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, with the flow of power distributed unevenly depending on the day.

'Is Reince going?' a second administration official asked Monday. 'Who knows? But he's not family and he doesn't have Steve's brain power.'

'Probably wouldn't surprise anyone,' the source added.

Scaramucci and Priebus have long been adversaries inside the larger Trumpworld circle, but the smooth-talking Long Islander downplayed tensions on Friday.

'Reince and I have been personal friends for six years,' Scaramucci said. 'We are a little bit like brothers, where we rough each other up a little, which is totally normal for brothers. There's a lot of people here who have brothers, so you get that.'
