Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) reaffirmed his backing for President Trump’s Federal Reserve nominee, Kevin Warsh, during an appearance on Meet the Press NOW. Speaking on the Senate Banking Committee’s recent contentious hearing, Cramer emphasized that Warsh is fully committed to preserving the Federal Reserve’s independence. He expressed strong confidence in Warsh’s ability to manage monetary policy with integrity and impartiality if confirmed.
Cramer also dismissed calls for a probe into current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling such an investigation unwarranted and politically driven. His comments come amid reports that Senator Thom Tillis has delayed the nomination process, highlighting internal Republican disagreements. Cramer’s vocal support underscores the growing divide within the party over the nomination and signals increased scrutiny of the confirmation timeline.
