President Trump has told aides and allies that he is considering removing Commerce Secretary Ross after a stinging Supreme Court defeat on adding a citizenship question to the census, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations.
The president has suggested to allies he wants a more hard-charging leader as Commerce Secretary, despite having once talked up Ross as a"killer." However, there's no indication the president has reached out directly to potential replacements for Ross.
Trump initially thought that the Supreme Court's decision offered him a legal path to add the citizenship question and publicly contradicted administration officials when he vowed to fight on. But then last week,, saying the administration would find other ways to determine the citizenship of the U.S. population. Meanwhile, the House was threatening to hold Ross and Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress.
Ross's future as the Commerce Secretary depends on several competing factors, including White House and presidential frustration with the Commerce Department, concern about the optics of dismissing a member of the Cabinet so soon after the resignation of Acosta, and Trump's personal relationship with Ross, according to officials and advisers.
But now that the Census Bureau has begun printing the forms without the citizenship question included, Trump is less reliant on Ross to conduct the census or defend the citizenship question in lawsuits, according to officials.One potential replacement is Ray Washburne, a Texas restaurateur and real estate developer whom Trump appointed to lead the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, which helps American businesses invest in emerging markets.
