Spicer, who served as Trump's press secretary for the first eight months of his presidency, most recently captured national attention as a surprisingly successful contestant on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

The new program, which includes co-host Lyndsay Keith, will air weekdays at 6 p.m.

“We're playing the long game here,” Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We're building a network over the long haul and we expect Sean is going to be one of our rising stars.”



“I will obviously be a supporter of his,” Spicer told the AP regarding Trump. “But the goal is not to make this show a vehicle for [his reelection] to happen.”

Newsmax TV launched in 2014 and is run by Ruddy, a friend of the president who also once contributed $1 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Despite being in 70 million homes, the network has struggled from a ratings perspective.

“The excitement of being part of something new really appealed to me,” Spicer also told the AP. “And the excitement of having a blank canvas. We can bring in new viewers and help build a network from the ground up.”
