Senator Tillis Ends Months-Long Blockade, Clearing Path for Warsh's Federal Reserve Chair Nomination

Odaily Planet Daily News: North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis stated on Sunday local time that he will support the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair, thereby removing the last major obstacle for Trump's pick to succeed Powell. Tillis had refused to vote for Warsh for months. He stated that as long as the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Powell was ongoing, he would not push for the confirmation of any Fed nominee, calling the investigation an attack on the central bank's independence. However, the investigation appears to have concluded last Friday. (Jin Shi)
