Kevin Warsh confirmed as Federal Reserve chair, Senate votes 54-45
The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as chair of the Federal Reserve in a 54-45 vote, and Jerome Powell will remain on the Fed board as a governor. President Trump pushed for lower interest rates during the nomination, but Warsh told senators he did not pledge to cut rates to secure the job. Warsh inherits a fragile economy with competing inflation and growth pressures and faces questions about managing his extensive financial holdings and potential conflicts of interest, which will shape Fed policy on rates and markets.
Disgraceful fraudulent traitor John Fetterman joined fascist republicans in confirming MAGA lunatic Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair after Jerome Powell thus officially ending the Central Bank’s autonomy and independence. We’re fucked and so many still refuse to see it.
trussell25.bsky.social7Hey, @schumer.senate.gov, why is this guy on committees? In TN, they kick off democrats just for protesting for the right for minorities to vote.
Fetterman is just another example of why our parliamentary systems here is way better than the two party system in America. here the democratic party could have already called for a vote of confidence against Fetterman. it makes absolutely no sense that a party is forced to bow to one person
ℂ𝕙𝕖𝕫 💙 🌊6Powell will monitor Warsh for the next two years. We will get more proof of trump requesting wrong doing for warsh to do. Warsh is in trouble before his job starts. Up to him to keep himself out of prison or be fired for being honest. trump is temporary, choose wisely, Powell did.
OneSerenityNow4Get ready for Stagflation as Kevbo will drop interest rates despite soaring inflation. Y'all better hold tightly on to your money, because you're going to need EVERY penny of it.
kelrr.bsky.social3Pretty soon the idiots will FEEL it.
Andrew2Not trying to victim blame but this is starting to be on the people of PA. The fact they aren't doing a roving protest every movement this ogre makes until he resigns is absurd. Grocery store? Protest. Doctor's office? Protest. There should be tents outside his home and office in PA and DC.
Kevin Warsh was just confirmed as next Fed chair. The only problem is we don't know which Kevin Warsh... The inflation hawk of 2006-2011? The sock puppet who doesn't know won the 2020 election? A public servant ready to grow into the job and lead? Someone else? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...
JoeCGiles10The Kevin Warsh who refused to admit Trump lost the 2020 election under oath in his confirmation hearing. Trump wouldn’t have nominated him if he didn’t already own him.
News From The Left7Anyone wanted by Trump for any federal position is bad for the country. We know that now. Another sycophant who would rather please die führer than make a decision benefiting the general public.
Greer5I mean... I think we know. What we don't yet know is if he'll have the guts to follow through when he's actually accountable for the results.
john.in.chicago5Definitely the sock puppet. Get set for some inflation on steroids when he drops the rate to 1%. Or less!
Patrick Baker5Sock puppet and pliable Trump lackey, lacking any integrity, experience, or sound judgment.
Josh2If he lowers rate, say hello to high inflation
BoneShark2We have gotten used to rolling the dice and taking our chances. Will Trump give away the store during his China trip? C'mon lucky 7.
lotuslady19.bsky.social2The one in the Trump-Epstein Files www.banking.senate.gov/newsroom/min...
MarkG2I have a good guess which one.
Dré Day2If the Lindsey Graham pivot is any indication, not good.
cdwilsher.bsky.social2"The inflation hawk of 2006-2011?" Not that one. There isn't a Democrat in the WH.
Mike Tonge2At least it's not Guy Standing.
"Warsh won confirmation 54–45, earning support from all Senate Republicans but just one Democrat, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. No Fed chair has been confirmed by such a narrow margin since Senate approval became a requirement for the job in 1977." www.wsj.com/economy/cent...
Claudia Sahm 45What's most disconcerting is Warsh didn't even try to get Democratic votes. The political ground is shifting at the Fed. It might not matter for policy, given the data, but I suspect we will remember this day.
Rob Michlowitz4He is a partisan hack. 😉
The Last Bubble Rises3They.make it too hard to remove traitors.
New: The Senate has officially confirmed Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve.
theeducationdoc.bsky.social14With the FED now no longer prioritizing low inflation, but instead, economic growth, 4%+ inflation will be the norm, and we'll be told to be good behaved insignificant consumers...didn't realize I'd live through the 1920s in the 2020s; good times 🙃
Incandescently Angry710% chance the first Fed meeting with him as chair meeting ends in fisticuffs as he tries to strong-arm a rate cut in the face of staggering inflation.

judinthepines.bsky.social4Another member of the Epstein class.
markalanlongo.bsky.social4This is exactly what happens when we lose… he’s going to get confirmed… every time I think someone like Tillis finds their backbone… somehow they always lose it!!! He’s gonna do what ever Donald says!
InscribaJournal3Here's what might happen now: The world's reliance on the American dollar will diminish more dramatically.
Mark3Rate cut in 3, 2, 1.....
Marc Christopher2Good luck Mr. Warsh. Is the Fed going to really cut interest rates with the recent inflation numbers showing things have increased?
Caraleeacs💙💙2There goes the Fed. We are truly heading for the bottom now.
Breaking news: The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve chair, handing President Trump a long-sought victory. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to support Warsh.
niteynite3Please quit calling that guy a Democrat
Jason Wippich2useless group of assholes in the Senate - and Fetterman is a traitor
road2lexington.bsky.social2@fetterman.senate.gov knows he has no political future so he's unleashing his inner MAGA. What a disgrace. He isn't even pretending to put the country first.
