Senate Confirms Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair in 54-45 Vote
The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as chair of the Federal Reserve in a 54-45 vote on Wednesday, completing the final step in his elevation to the central bank's top post after lawmakers approved him for the Board of Governors a day earlier. Warsh is set to succeed Jerome Powell, whose term as chair expires Friday.
Warsh takes over as the Fed grapples with intensifying inflation and fresh inflation data that complicates the case for interest-rate cuts, even as President Donald Trump presses for lower rates. The 54-45 tally was the narrowest margin for a Fed chair since Senate approvals became a requirement in 1977, underscoring an unusually contentious transition for the central bank.
