From WSJ:
Trump said he might appoint Stephen Miran, a close economic adviser, to replace Cook. Earlier this month, the president nominated Miran to fill a different seat on the Fed’s board. But the term for that seat expires in January. Cook’s term is set to expire in 2038. “We might switch him to the other—it’s a longer term,” Trump said.
Among the other potential candidates Trump has discussed, according to some of the people: former World Bank Group President David Malpass, a close ally of the president who has criticized the Federal Reserve for not lowering interest rates. Malpass could be chosen to fill the other open Fed board seat if Miran is nominated to replace Cook.
