long article 4 min

Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor, is reportedly President Trump's pick to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair. Trump believes Warsh can deliver the economic growth he promised. Warsh, 55, has degrees from Stanford and Harvard and served as a Fed governor from 2006 to 2011. He advised Ben Bernanke during the 2008 financial crisis. However, Warsh has faced criticism for potentially underestimating the severity of the Great Recession and favoring higher interest rates during that period. Trump previously considered Warsh for the Fed chair in 2017 before selecting Powell, whom he now regrets appointing.
