Is the White House headed for a major personnel rearrangement?

Could the White House be in for personnel restructuring in 2026? According to one report, it may be.
Paul Sperry, a senior reporter for Real Clear Investigations, has suggested that senior White House aides and cabinet heads “are bracing for major personnel shakeup as insiders tell me POTUS is growing increasingly unhappy with ‘economic messaging,’ among other things.”
Sperry said the shakeup may even include a new chief of staff in 2026.
His reporting rocked the conservative world on social media, as people began debating the possibility of an internal rearrangement, and who would be ousted if so.
Some outlets reported that FBI Director Kash Patel was on the potential chopping block, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt quickly put that idea to rest, calling it “completely made up.”
“I read the headline to the President and he laughed. He said: ‘What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!’ Do not believe the Fake News!” she stated on X.
Another prominent possibility that has emerged is the potential replacement of Susie Wiles as the president’s chief of staff, as Sperry suggested in his initial developing report.
“Most powerful woman in the world, she can take out a country…with one phone call – that’s power,” President Trump said recently of Wiles’ work.
Some have decried Wiles’ perceived influence over the president – the Hodge Twins, for example, accused her of being “deep state” this week – but others have slammed such suggestions as fake news.
“This is completely fake news by the way,” said independent journalist Laura Loomer this week. “President Trump loves Susie Wiles.”
She added, “It’s crazy how many people hate seeing a woman with power. It’s total misogyny. And I say that as someone who doesn’t like tons of women. Susie Wiles is loved by President Trump.”
Lastly, rumors emerged this week that Co-Deputy FBI Director Andrew Bailey could allegedly be in the running to replace Attorney General Pam Bondi. Yet another report alleged that Bailey could, instead, replace Patel as the new FBI Director.
The administration has not commented on the rumors surrounding AG Bondi or Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
