Jerome Powell is FINISHED.

Finally, a Fed that operates on economic common sense, not a weapon for the Democrat treasonists.

Only one Democrat voted to confirm Warsh—John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.

Bloomberg: The 54-45 vote Wednesday was the slimmest confirmation margin ever for a head of the central bank, reflecting polarized politics in Congress and Democratic fears that Warsh will bend to President Donald Trump’s demands to rapidly lower interest rates…. The incoming chairman’s vote margin came in under Janet Yellen’s 56-26 tally in 2014. Bipartisan support for Fed picks used to be the rule, rather than the exception, with Alan Greenspan even winning unanimous support to continue as Fed chair in 2000 (Bloomberg).

Senate Majority Leader Thune: “Kevin Warsh seems to have just the profile of a Federal Reserve chairman—yet Democrats oppose his nomination…This is just how bad ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ has gotten on the other side of the aisle” (C-SPAN).

Former Chairman Powell criticized Trump for abandoning protocol in his blunt and vocal criticism of the Fed. The irony should not get lost: Powell is now abandoning protocol himself in his refusal to leave the Fed board—and thus denying Trump another appointment. Also: When Warsh was confirmed for his earlier stint on the Fed board in 2006, he was approved overwhelmingly by voice vote, no vote count needed (Congress).
