The White House has submitted the nomination of Kevin Warsh for the Fed chair to the Senate
Recall, it was announced on January 30, 2026 that Kevin Warsh would be nominated as the next Federal Reserve Chair.
-
January 30, 2026: President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell when Powell’s term as chair ends in May 2026.
-
The nomination still requires U.S. Senate confirmation before Warsh can officially assume the role.
-
Warsh previously served as a Federal Reserve Governor from 2006 to 2011.
It seems that the immediacy for Warsh to put the pressure on the Fed to cut rates has died as inflation remains elevated in growth/employment remains solid
