Federal Reserve Board - News & Events
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.
www.federalreserve.govI will provide a concise update based on the latest widely reported developments.Here’s the latest on the chair of the Federal Reserve:
-
Most recent reporting indicates that Kevin Warsh has been named as the White House’s nominee to become the next chair of the Federal Reserve, with Jerome Powell’s term as chair set to end in May 2026. If confirmed by the Senate, Warsh would lead the FOMC and oversee monetary policy going forward.[3]
-
Coverage notes that the nomination follows a White House process that identified several finalists and sought to expedite confirmation due to Powell’s impending departure, though the Senate still needed to approve the appointment.[3]
-
Other outlets summarized the political context, emphasizing that Powell’s tenure was under scrutiny and that the White House had been seeking to influence the Fed’s policy direction, with a potential shift in leadership on the horizon.[3]
