HOW WE SCORE ↗The article presents Tillis’s support for moving ahead, Warren’s opposition, Warsh’s statement about independence and remarks from Trump and Justice Department officials.

Sen. Thom Tillis said he is ready to support moving Kevin Warsh’s Federal Reserve chair nomination forward after the Justice Department ended its investigation of current chair Jerome Powell. The Senate Banking Committee planned to vote on the nomination Wednesday.
Tillis said the end of the Justice Department investigation and assurances that it would be reopened only after a criminal referral addressed his concerns about political pressure on the Federal Reserve. His opposition had stalled Warsh’s nomination in the Senate Banking Committee. Tillis also praised Warsh as a prospective Fed chair.

18 OUTLETSOutlets 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.
