Trump still has four potential avenues to expand his influence over the Federal Reserve, even as court rulings and Senate resistance have slowed efforts to quickly reshape the central bank. The key issue is how future personnel shifts could change the voting structure of the rate-setting committee. The main pressure points include the dismissal case involving Fed Governor Lisa Cook, Jerome Powell’s continued service as a Fed governor through early 2028 after stepping down as chair, Philip Jefferson’s decision next year on whether to remain after his vice chair term ends, and the appointment of the next Atlanta Fed president. These openings could still reshape the Fed’s personnel landscape and alter the interest rate decision framework.
