He's planning on getting rid of FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper. ...
It's different with Fauci, because our Fed administration is really running a decentralized approach to the pandemic. It's not a top down rules set, but very much in the hands of the governors.
Fauci is no boss or czar.
Oh totally, Fauci is obviously VERY different then Wray, Haspel, and Esper in regards to what their position entails.
If Trump is to win reelection, he most likely will fire Fauci as well. He'll have the political capital to do it, though I personally wouldn't want to waste the anger of Americans on that. At this point Trump knows that he can kinda just ignore Corona and people won't really care that much.
His political capital would be much better used in getting a stimulus package out the door and forcing the Dems to work with him on that. That kinda depends on what the Senate will look like too, though they could push something through before the new Senators are confirmed (given that Trump has won as well)
