Core Viewpoint - President Trump has drafted a shortlist of four candidates to lead the Federal Reserve, explicitly excluding Treasury Secretary Scott Pruitt from consideration [1][3]. Group 1: Candidates for Federal Reserve Chair - Trump mentioned two strong candidates: Kevin Hassett, his chief economic advisor, and Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor [1]. - Trump indicated that he has two additional candidates who are performing well but did not provide their names [2]. Group 2: Current Federal Reserve Leadership - Jerome Powell, the current Federal Reserve Chair, is viewed unfavorably by Trump due to his reluctance to lower interest rates, which Trump has repeatedly requested [1][6]. - Powell's term is set to end in May 2026, and his replacement is considered a strategic decision amid economic uncertainties [6]. Group 3: Recent Developments - The resignation of Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler on August 1 provides Trump with another opportunity to appoint a new member to the rate-setting committee [4][5].
