The White House is no longer hiding its aim to put a Trump loyalist at the helm, whether or not protocol or law is on its side. The pressure campaign has shifted from background noise into a full-scale offensive, signaling one thing: the administration wants the Fed Chair’s seat under its control before 2026 even hits.
