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.
Trump announced his selection of Warsh in a social media post, praising his experience and predicting he would be an excellent Fed chair. The article says Warsh is expected to support Trump’s preference for lower interest rates. Warsh previously served on the Fed’s board and in George W. Bush’s National Economic Council.
