Hopefully This Announcement Solves The Issues With Crucial Holdout to Trump’s Fed Chair Pick

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is making himself known to President Trump and his administration, but not for the right reasons. The outgoing North Carolina Republican, who has chosen not to run for re-election, is reportedly a significant obstacle to Trump’s nominee for chair of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, who had his confirmation hearing this week. Warsh is set to replace Jerome Powell, the outgoing chair, who also has had a strained relationship with Trump. Tillis appeared ready to block this nomination due to a federal investigation into the Federal Reserve’s renovation project, which the president has claimed was plagued by misconduct. However, the DC U.S. Attorney has announced that this investigation has been closed, which may open the door for Tillis to support the nomination. Pirro
