An update re the voting for the Federal Reserve nominations.
Majority approval for:
- Powell as Chair ( second term) 23-1
- Brainard for Vice-Chair 16-8
- Jefferson for the Board of Governors 24-0
Lisa Cook's nomination vote was a tie.
- 12-12
- Cook's nomination will advance to a full Senate vote
Biden's four remaining Fed nominees advance now to the full Senate, where they'll need 51 votes to be confirmed.
Exciting stuff.
