“The president will make the right choice for chief of staff when he’s ready, and hopefully he’ll choose somebody he’s got great chemistry with, great relationship with, who will help him navigate the next couple of years through all of the good opportunities that emerge to keep pushing forward," Kushner said.

The couple had reportedly lobbied to have Kelly replaced.

Trump announced Saturday that Kelly will leave at the end of the year.

The New York Times reported based on sources in the White House that Kushner and Ivanka Trump are considered to be "running the building" in light of Kelly's exit.

Kushner and Ivanka Trump also reportedly pushed for President Trump to choose Nick Ayers, the current chief of staff to Vice President Pence, as Kelly's replacement.

But the White House said Sunday that Ayers, a GOP operative, won't be the next chief of staff and will instead join a pro-Trump super PAC after this year.

With Ayers no longer under consideration, it's unclear who is considered the favorite for the position.
