President Trump tapped former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh to lead the central bank after months of speculation. If confirmed by the Senate, he will succeed Jerome Powell. Opinion is divided over whether Warsh will align with the US president's views over how the Federal Reserve should be run.

President Donald Trump’s choice to run the world’s most powerful financial institution is stuck in a Senate committee. And the man holding the door shut is a Republican who says he’s not opposing the candidate, he’s opposing the president.

Foxbusiness reported the story as "Trump nominates Kevin Warsh as next Fed chair: What to know." Politico reported the story as "Republicans love Kevin Warsh. But he still has a problem in ...." New York Post reported the story as "Senate advances Iran war powers resolution as beaten GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy changes vote to defy Trump."
