Kevin Warsh faces a Senate Banking Committee hearing for Fed Chair, where his commitment to central bank independence from President Trump's pressure for lower interest rates will be the primary focus for lawmakers and markets.
Outlets across the spectrum highlight Senator Warren’s aggressive questioning of Kevin Warsh, specifically her characterization of the nominee as a potential "sock puppet" for the White House. While The New Republic focuses on her scrutiny of Warsh's $100 million in assets and financial ties, the Washington Examiner and Mediaite emphasize the "heated" nature of the hearing and her procedural clashes with Republican Senator Tim Scott.
