According to a report by Deep Tide TechFlow, on July 18, Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that he would accept the position of Federal Reserve Chair if U.S. President Trump made the request. However, so far, the president has not contacted him. Waller mentioned that Trump reached out to him in 2019 when he appointed him as a Federal Reserve Governor and asked if he would be willing to serve. Waller responded positively at that time. He added that if the president contacted him now and expressed a desire for him to serve, he would accept. But Trump has not yet reached out to him.
