Senate Banking Committee Schedules Wednesday Vote on Warsh Nomination
Summary
The Senate Banking Committee scheduled a Wednesday vote to advance Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve chairman. Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who had previously blocked the nomination over a Justice Department investigation into Chairman Jerome Powell and Fed headquarters renovation cost overruns, dropped his opposition after the DOJ dropped its investigation. If the committee advances the nomination, the full Senate will vote at a later date. This represents a procedural milestone in Warsh's confirmation process following resolution of the political standoff that had stalled his advancement.
“The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote on Wednesday to advance the nomination of Kevin Warsh to be Federal Reserve chairman, with a key Republican committee member having dropped his opposition to the vote.”

April 27, 2026 Reading Time: 1 min read The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote on Wednesday to advance the nomination of Kevin Warsh to be Federal Reserve chairman, with a key Republican committee member having dropped his opposition to the vote.
Warsh was nominated by President Trump earlier this year to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chairman. His nomination previously lacked the votes to clear the committee, as Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said he would block it until the Justice Department drops a criminal investigation into current Chairman Jerome Powell and cost overruns related to renovations to the Fed’s headquarters. Tillis ended his opposition after the Justice Department dropped the investigation and referred the matter to the Fed’s Office of Inspector General.
If the committee advances the nomination, the full Senate will vote on it at a later date.
