Is the Fed Chair nomination not a simple two-way selection process? Waller will be interviewed.

According to ME News, on December 17th (UTC+8), sources revealed that Trump will interview current Federal Reserve Governor Waller on Wednesday to discuss his nomination for Federal Reserve Chair. Trump interviewed former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh last week. Trump stated that Warsh and Hassett are currently his two preferred candidates. This year, Warr has become a leading voice within the Fed advocating for interest rate cuts. At the Fed's July meeting where interest rates were kept unchanged, Warr voted against a rate cut. Warr is the most favored candidate for Fed Chair among economists and is highly regarded on Wall Street. His arguments on rate cuts this year are considered logically clear, consistent, and he is seen as capable of bridging the widening divisions within the Fed. Several of his rate-cutting arguments have been adopted by current Chairman Powell. Warr will speak on the economic outlook on Wednesday evening Beijing time. (Source: ME)
