President Trump formally nominated former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair on March 4, 2026, transmitting the nomination to the Senate to succeed Jerome Powell, whose term expires May 15. Progress remains stalled due to a hold by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who is blocking Fed nominations pending resolution of a DOJ investigation into Powell. No confirmation hearing has been scheduled in the Senate Banking Committee, heightening uncertainty amid geopolitical tensions like the Iran conflict influencing Fed policy expectations. Warsh garners White House backing and praise from Wall Street leaders, but faces certain Democratic opposition, including from Sen. Elizabeth Warren; a simple majority Senate vote is required for confirmation.
