Fed Chair Succession Plan: Who Could Take Powell’s Seat in 2026 or Sooner?

Published: 04-21-2025, 11:35 am | Updated: 04-21-2025, 08:31 am

President Trump is considering removing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell before his term ends in May 2026. According to sources close to the administration, former Fed governor Kevin Warsh is the frontrunner to replace Powell if a change occurs. Warsh, who served during the 2008 financial crisis under Ben Bernanke, has publicly stated that the Fed is politically motivated – a view that aligns with Trump’s perspective.

Trump advisor Steve Moore puts the chances of Powell’s early removal at “a little less than 50-50.” Other candidates include Kevin Hassett, Art Laffer, Larry Kudlow, and Fed Governor Chris Waller, who supports interest rate cuts to prevent recession amid high tariffs. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent opposes Powell’s early removal, calling Fed monetary policy “a jewel box that’s got to be preserved.”

For forty years, the 60/40 portfolio was the default prescription for the serious investor. That model worked because stocks and bonds moved in opposite directions when markets got scared. That relationship is broken — and the institutions that built trillion-dollar businesses on it are now replacing bonds with gold.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
