Warsh's nomination advances to the Senate in 13-11 vote
"Sen. Tim Scott stated that Warsh is battle tested and highlighted the necessity of breaking the bind of Bidenomics on households across the nation, emphasizing the urgency of the situation."
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren expressed that Warsh's nomination would bring the president closer to completing an illegal attempt to seize control of the Fed and artificially boost the economy."
"During his confirmation hearing, Warsh firmly rejected the notion that he would yield to political pressure regarding interest rates, asserting he would not serve as Trump's human sock puppet."
"Warsh acknowledged his financial disclosures and agreed with federal ethics officials to divest nearly all of his holdings, moving the proceeds into cash or Treasury bills if confirmed."
Sen. Tim Scott endorsed Warsh's nomination, emphasizing the need to alleviate the impact of Bidenomics on households. In contrast, Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized the nomination, claiming it would enable the president to exert control over the Federal Reserve. Warsh's confirmation faced delays due to a probe into alleged cost overruns at the Fed, which has since been dropped. During his hearing, Warsh rejected political pressure on interest rates and committed to divesting his investments if confirmed. Republicans defended Warsh, focusing on inflation and policy reforms needed post-pandemic.
