President Donald Trump selected former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chair when Powell’s term ends in May. Warsh’s confirmation could face a hurdle from Sen. Thom Tillis, while lawmakers and analysts differed on the prospects and implications of the nomination.
