Trump sends Fed chair Warsh nomination to Senate

Warsh, who would take over from Jerome Powell after his leadership term ends on May 15, would occupy the seat currently held by Fed Governor Stephen Miran, the White House notice shows.

President Donald Trump on March 4 officially nominated former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to be the U.S. central bank's next chair, the White House said, putting the president one step closer to installing a rate-cut-friendly Fed chief.
