Chuck Schumer cries and FALLS APART on senate Floor: ‘Trump Did This!”

Warsh, a former Fed governor from 2006 to 2011, is a longtime critic of the central bank’s policies on balance sheet size, bank regulation, and communication practices. He has indicated openness to interest rate cuts in recent statements, aligning with Trump’s repeated calls for lower rates.

In confirmation hearings, Warsh pledged to maintain the Fed’s independence in setting monetary policy. “I will be an independent actor if confirmed as chair of the Federal Reserve,” he stated last month.

The position fills the seat previously held temporarily by Stephen Miran, a Trump aide who took a leave from the White House Council of Economic Advisers to serve on the Fed after an early resignation created the vacancy. Miran’s term officially expired in January but he remained on the board until a replacement was confirmed. Miran became known for consistently advocating lower interest rates during his time on the Federal Open Market Committee.
