For the record. Why I Suggest Warsh Is the Best Pick for the Fed. IMHO: Kevin Warsh remains the strongest choice for Fed chair because he uniquely combines market credibility with a clear willingness to reset policy in a more disciplined, rules‑based direction. He is structurally hawkish on inflation and the balance sheet, but tactically flexible enough to support meaningful rate cuts when conditions warrant, which aligns with the Trump–Bessent objective of moving the funds rate lower without sacrificing institutional legitimacy. He also brings deep institutional experience from his prior service as a Federal Reserve governor, which means he can execute a regime change from day one while understanding the internal culture, processes, and constraints of the Fed. In addition, Warsh is embedded in a network that links markets, policy, and the Trump political orbit: he is professionally aligned with figures like Stanley Druckenmiller, which in turn connects him naturally to Scott Bessent’s agenda, and as the son‑in‑law of Ronald Lauder, a long‑time Trump ally, he sits inside a trusted political and personal circle. These relationships increase the odds that monetary policy, Treasury strategy, and the White House’s growth agenda can be coordinated without turning the Fed into an overtly partisan arm. Taken together, his institutional Fed experience, policy credibility, and connective tissue to both Wall Street and Trump’s inner circle make him a superior choice to continuity candidates who would preserve too much of the Powell framework, or outsider picks who would bring greater conflicts of interest and less genuine regime change.
