Warsh Declines to Say Whether Biden Won 2020 Election
Warsh declined to say whether Trump lost in 2020 as Democrats questioned whether he would keep politics out of the Federal Reserve.
- On Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh testified before the Senate Banking Committee, repeatedly dodging questions from Senator Elizabeth Warren regarding whether President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
- Senator Warren sought to measure the nominee's independence and "courage" by pressing for a factual answer, while Warsh argued the Federal Reserve must remain free from political influence.
- Warren later slammed Warsh's response as "quite adorable" and lacking "courage," while GOP committee chairman Senator Thom Tillis threatened to block the nomination unless the investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is dropped.
- The hearing intensified debates over central bank autonomy, with Warren noting that Trump has clearly stated he does not want an independent Federal Reserve.
