REPORT: Mick Mulvaney To Exit After Senate Trial

Talking Points Memo reports:

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is widely expected to leave his current position once the Senate wraps up its impeachment trial and the intense scrutiny of the West Wing settles down, according to five aides and confidants to President Donald Trump.

Trump allies and White House aides, who have been nudging the president in recent weeks to find a new leader for the team as it delves into a crucial reelection campaign, have been circulating lists of potential replacements for weeks.

The prime candidate to succeed Mulvaney appears to be Rep. Mark Meadows, who announced yesterday that he won’t seek reelection.
