President-elect Donald Trump told reporters and advisors in Palm Beach this week that he regrets his 2017 decision not to appoint Kevin Warsh as Chair of the Federal Reserve, a move he described as a "mistake" as he considers leadership changes for his upcoming second term. Speaking ahead of his return to the White House, Trump signaled that Warsh, a former member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, is now a top contender to succeed current Chair Jerome Powell. The public admission of regret serves as a clear indication of Trump’s intent to pivot the nation's central bank toward a leader more aligned with his economic vision of deregulation and lower interest rates. Kevin Warsh, who served on the Fed Board from 2006 to 2011, has long been a favorite among fiscal conservatives for his skepticism regarding long-term quantitative easing and his advocacy for a more transparent monetary policy. During Trump's first term, the President eventually chose Jerome Powell for the role, a decision that led to a famously contentious relationship as Trump frequently criticized Powell for raising interest rates. By revisiting Warsh as a potential candidate, Trump is positioning a loyalist with deep institutional knowledge to potentially overhaul the Fed’s current trajectory. Industry analysts, including Kristin Myers, ETF Editor-in-Chief for AssetTV, suggest that Trump's renewed focus on Warsh is a strategic signal to Wall Street regarding the administration’s future economic priorities. If nominated and confirmed, Warsh would be expected to prioritize economic growth and potentially challenge the traditional independence of the Fed to better suit the executive branch's policy goals. This shift comes at a critical time as the central bank continues to navigate the complexities of post-inflation stabilization and a shifting global trade landscape.
