I "have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
President Donald Trump on Friday announced he will nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve.
“I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “On top of everything else, he is ‘central casting,’ and he will never let you down. Congratulations Kevin!”
Current chief Jerome Powell’s term ends in May.
Warsh, a former Fed governor, was widely expected to get the nomination. He was on Trump’s short list along with three other candidates, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Fed governor Christopher Waller and BlackRock senior executive Rick Rieder.
Trump had previously considered Warsh for the position of treasury secretary and also mulled naming him Fed chair during his first term before picking Powell.
