Treasury secretary eyed in White House midterm shake-up: Report
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 09/28/2022 11:44:23 AM PDT by GulliverSwift

White House officials are weighing the possible departure of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen after the November elections as part of a Cabinet shake-up, according to a report.

The decision is not final and is expected to hinge on the outcome of the midterm elections, sources familiar with the matter told Axios. Yellen’s successor will need to be confirmed by the Senate, posing a challenge if the Republican Party takes control of the upper chamber.

Officials are also considering whether Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council, could leave in the new year, according to the outlet.

Deese, speaking at the Economic Club of D.C. on Tuesday, said he had “no plans to leave” the Biden administration.

“I’ve got my head down, and I’m certainly fully, fully absorbed in the work we’re doing,” Deese added.

Treasury spokeswoman Lily Adams said Yellen has no plans to leave.

The White House did not respond to a comment request.

Did Janet ever get over her constipation or figure out what inflation is?

There’s not a single cabinet member worth keeping around and in fact, none of them should have been in the cabinet.

But, the biggest failure of all is Biden, so, his bosses should tell him to resign, and then, all of them should resign too. The well-being of the country is dependent on starting all over again.

Ah. The “Treasury Secretary” who was puzzled by the onset of inflation?

That one?

Leftists may be professionally the most incompetent group of people there are, but they are competent in the things that are most destructive to this country, that is for sure.

Ron Klain and the behind the scenes Obama retreads are the ones responsible for this dog’s breakfast of an administration.. When you run the government based only on ideology and refuse to consider any injection of practicality, doom is inevitable. It’s painful now but hopefully the uptick in gas prices by 20-40% will remind the dullards in the electorate that these imbeciles need to be crushed

Deese and Yellen both need to be gone. Useless hacks.
