Tillis Backs Kevin Warsh’s Fed Chair Nomination After Powell Inquiry Ends

Outlets agree that Tillis said he would let Kevin Warsh’s nomination for Federal Reserve chair move forward after the Justice Department ended its investigation of Jerome Powell. Center outlets mainly treat Tillis’s move as a response to the inquiry’s end and explain how it advances Warsh’s confirmation. Right-leaning outlets also describe the move as clearing a path for Warsh, with some casting Tillis’s shift as delayed or a retreat.
