How Kevin Warsh Could Shape the Fed

After months of speculation and a publicized selection process befitting The Apprentice, President Trump has announced his pick to lead the Federal Reserve: former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.

Historically a monetary policy hawk, the now dovish Warsh is expected to align more closely with President Trump’s views on inflation and rate decisions.

On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder sits down with Bloomberg Fed reporters Amara Omeokwe and Saleha Mohsin to discuss Warsh’s nomination, the early reactions we’ve seen from Wall Street and Washington, and what his past record and recent evolution signal about how he may handle interest rates and an ongoing battle over Fed independence.
