[Federal Reserve's Williams Downplays Waller Nomination Deadlock: Confirmation Timeline Uncertain] Odaily Planet Daily News – The confirmation timeline for Kevin Waller's nomination as Federal Reserve Chair remains uncertain due to opposition from key Republican senators, who are against advancing his nomination while current Chair Powell is still under investigation. New York Fed President and Federal Reserve Policy Committee Vice Chair Williams stated that this uncertainty is not an issue for the Federal Reserve. The Federal Open Market Committee voted earlier this year to have Powell serve as the Policy Committee Chair, and Powell can continue in this role until Waller's confirmation. Williams remarked, 'We are simply focused on doing our job well. There are no continuity issues within the committee.' (Jin10)
