Who is Kevin Warsh? Trump’s Fed pick wants ‘regime change’ at central bank
US President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed, but the financier’s plans to lower interest rates may come up against hard economic realities and a split board.
The US Senate could soon hear testimony to confirm financier Kevin Warsh as the new chair of the Federal Reserve.
Warsh, who previously served on the Fed’s Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011, has criticized the central bank’s policies under current chair Jerome Powell. Warsh has called for “regime change” and lower interest rates.
Regarding crypto, Warsh has a somewhat nuanced approach. He hails Bitcoin as a sustainable store of value, but claims it doesn’t function as money.
