An analysis cited by Odaily and attributed to Reuters says U.S. President Donald Trump has continued trying to expand his influence over monetary policy by removing Federal Reserve officials and creating room for his own picks. So far, those efforts have been constrained by both court rulings and political resistance in the Senate, preventing any rapid reshaping of the central bank.
The report says the fight is not over and points to as many as four remaining openings that could affect the Fed’s personnel structure. These include Trump’s continued push in the Cook firing case, the fact that a clear opening tied to Jerome Powell would not arrive until 2028, the uncertain future of Jefferson and the chain reaction that could follow, and the selection of a new Atlanta Fed president, which the analysis describes as a possible breakthrough point.
The core issue, according to the report, is not only who gets into the Federal Reserve, but how those personnel shifts could alter the voting balance inside the committee that makes interest-rate decisions.
Odaily, citing a Reuters analysis, reported that U.S. President Donald Trump has been trying to expand his influence over monetary policy by removing Federal Reserve officials and making room for his own appointees.
So far, those efforts have been held back by a combination of court constraints and political resistance in the Senate. Still, the struggle over the Fed’s personnel structure is not over, and the report says as many as four openings could yet affect how the institution is staffed.
Four possible openings
- The Cook firing case: Trump has not given up.
- Powell staying on: 2028 is described as the clear opening.
- Jefferson’s future: a possible chain reaction.
- The next Atlanta Fed president: a possible breakthrough point.
The analysis says Trump has not been able to quickly remake the Federal Reserve, but the Cook case, Powell’s term, Jefferson’s future, and the appointment of the Atlanta Fed president still leave four possible levers for expanding his influence.
The key issue, the report says, is not just who can enter the Federal Reserve, but how those personnel changes could ultimately reshape the voting structure of the committee that decides interest rates.
