According to sources, President Trump plans to interview another Federal Reserve Chair nominee, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, this Wednesday. However, officials cautioned that the selection process is progressing rapidly, and President Trump is still weighing his options, so the meeting could be postponed or canceled. Trump interviewed former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh last week, stating that Warsh and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett are the top candidates for the position. Waller was nominated to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors late in Trump's term in 2020 and confirmed by the Senate. This year, he has become a key figure within the Fed advocating for interest rate cuts, with the Fed announcing 25 basis point cuts in its three most recent policy meetings. When the Fed chose to keep rates unchanged in July, Waller voted against a rate cut. The White House has not yet responded to requests for comment.
