Trump Nominates Kevin Warsh As Fed Chair

The Trump administration on Wednesday formally nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next Federal Reserve chair when Jerome Powell’s term ends in two months, forwarding the Jan. 30 announcement to the Senate. Sen. Thom Tillis has vowed to block confirmation amid a Justice Department subpoena probe into Powell, while Warsh, a critic of past Fed policy, argues AI-driven productivity gains justify lower interest rates.
