Senate confirms Trump's Fed chair pick Warsh in most partisan vote ever

The US Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair on Wednesday in the most partisan confirmation vote for the role in history. Warsh, Trump's top pick for the position, takes the helm as the central bank faces ongoing challenges with inflation management.

The highly divisive vote underscores deepening political polarization over monetary policy appointments. Warsh's confirmation comes amid broader debates over the Fed's independence and its approach to interest rates as the economy navigates persistent pricing pressures.
