President Trump has privately been floating the idea of replacing Chief of Staff John Kelly with Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), according to Axios.
The news outlet, citing three sources with knowledge of the matter, reported on Sunday that Trump has recently been asking many people about who he should name as his chief of staff when Kelly officially departs.
He's asked many of them what they think of Meadows, a North Carolina congressman who is currently the chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. He's also reportedly mentioned three other people as other possible candidates.
Axios said it did not have information about those possible candidates.
Meadows was rumored as a possible chief of staff contender back in February. Other people on Trump's list of contenders now include Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney.
Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey tweeted that a White House official with direct knowledge confirmed Axios' report to him.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
NO! We need Meadows in the House.
Another potential Sessions debacle losing a safe seat.
No more high-stake risks.
“Could Darrell Issa do the job?”
Yes, if the job requires someone to fold like a deck of cards.
I suggested Kris Koch of Kansas.
lolol
Mark Meadows is my House Rep...NO< White House cannot have him...he is best! We need Meadows in Congress! Chief of Staff needs to be someone who is office minded, detail oriented, and focused on giving President what he needs! Meadows needs to keep representing US THE PEOPLE of his district! I vote NO! Get some other smuck.... I want Meadows to be our Governor one day!
No politician, please. Most of them are too wishy washy. Although, an honest one to have for a drinking..er...a...big Mac eating, buddy wouldn’t hurt.
If Trump wants a Congressman let him take McCarthy.
“””No, it’s too risky to have a special election for the House for an R seat.”””
Exactly....no no no
LOL...Not sure McCarthy would be loyal to Trump! A Congressman seems wrong pic for Chief of Staff, different personalities! Kelly was Military, and that job needs constant organization and dedication!
I was just kidding.
Levin wouldn’t do it anyway. He has it made!!
Trump needs someone who can keep up with him. Sarah Sanders?
Levin wouldn’t lower himself enough to do that job.
Who is kris Koch?
I suggested Kris Koch of Kansas.
Kobach?? I’d appoint him to stop the damn voter fraud by the Demons.........
Levin is in Cheetos heaven these days.
Close friend who also ran (unsuccessfully) for governor of Kansas.
He’s tried that for President Trump. The states wouldn’t cooperate.
Rudy Giuliani for CoS.
Ditto that. Mulvaney is a very bright guy who is an excellent communicator. I think he would do the best job of managing the administration to help clarify and focus messaging. Which gets off track, every once in a while. Right on to Mulvaney!
