The most partisan Fed chair vote in US history. Kevin Warsh confirmed 13–11 while Powell's seat was still warm. Trump promised he'd only appoint someone who believes in lower rates "by a lot." Either Warsh lied to the Senate — or Trump lied to his base. A century of independence, gone in one afternoon.

The Marriner Eccles Building — limestone, 1937, built to hold against compliant men — had its last morning under Jerome Powell on May 14th.
Kevin Warsh confirmed to the Federal Reserve in the most partisan central bank vote in Senate history. Thirteen Republicans yes. Eleven Democrats no. John Fetterman alone crossed the aisle.
Trump said in December he'd only appoint someone who "believes in lower interest rates, by a lot." Either Warsh lied to the Senate Banking Committee on April 21st — or Trump lied to his base. Markets now price a one-in-three chance of a rate hike by December.
The independence built over a century was handed away in an afternoon.
