After months of speculation about whether John Kelly’s will leave the White House, Trump’s Chief of Staff has announced he will be staying on. It is being reported that Trump asked him to stay through the 2020 election, and he accepted the president’s offer. 

According to The Hill:

White House chief of staff John Kelly has agreed to remain in his post through the 2020 election, according to a White House official, quelling rumors of an imminent departure due to tensions with President Trump. 
 
The official confirmed that Kelly told members of the White House staff on Monday that Trump had asked him to stay in the White House, and that Kelly said he would abide by the request.

The news, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as somewhat of a surprise given Kelly’s tumultuous tenure in the West Wing. 
 
But all appeared well on Monday, when Kelly celebrated his first anniversary as chief of staff. Trump marked the occasion on Twitter with a photo of the two men smiling and standing beside one another. 

The White House has denied reports of Kelly’s departure, calling them “fake news” and this new report proves that assertion true.
