With Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus reportedly being considered for the role of White House chief of staff, Donald Trump's team is mulling over who may replace Priebus as the party's head. Two names that have apparently come up are former Hewlett-Packard CEO and erstwhile Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina and Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, now a CNN political commentator, The Washington Examiner reported Thursday. There's even the possibility that the two could be named as co-chairs.

Democrats are also contemplating who will helm their party next. When it was assumed Hillary Clinton would win the presidency, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm were reportedly being considered for Democratic National Committee chair, The Washington Examiner said. Politico reported that Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), and Rep Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) are also vying for the position.
