White House Prepares for Possible Cabinet Shake-Up as Trump Nears One-Year Mark

The White House is preparing for the possibility of cabinet turnover as President Donald Trump nears the one-year point of his current term, according to multiple people familiar with internal discussions. The potential reshuffle could unsettle an otherwise stable group of cabinet secretaries.

Officials have not announced any decisions or a timeline. The account could not be independently confirmed, and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Potential targets

Department of Homeland Security: Cited as one of the agencies most likely to see a leadership change.

Department of Energy: Also named as a possible site for personnel shifts. That department is led by Chris Wright, a former Colorado fracking executive whose reported ties with the White House have cooled in recent months.

Multiple officials emphasized that no final decisions have been taken and said the cabinet is expected to remain largely unchanged at least through early next year.

Context

Trump returned to office in January to begin his second term. His first administration experienced several high-profile departures — including secretaries of state and defense — often after policy disputes or personal disagreements with the president.
