SUMMARY

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is expected to leave the White House in the coming weeks. He began exploring jobs outside the administration well before this month’s midterm elections. His plans could still change.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his counselor, David Zervos, are under consideration to replace Hassett. Bessent could hold both jobs.

Hassett served in President Donald Trump’s first administration. Trump brought him back as his top economic adviser two years ago. Since then, he has spoken for the White House on the Iran war’s economic fallout and Trump’s campaign against former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
