What economic experts think about Trump’s choice of Kevin Warsh for Fed chair – PBS News
USA-FED / Former U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh speaks during a monetary policy conference at Stanford University…By — Hannah Grabenstein
Detailed view of the US Federal Reserve System seal on currency with yellow digital numbers. WP.What economic experts think about Trump’s choice of Kevin Warsh for Fed chair
Economy Updated on Jan 30, 2026 7:29 PM EST — Published on Jan 30, 2026 5:17 PM EST
President Donald Trump announced Friday that he would nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve, an independent agency that has been under pressure from the president to lower interest rates for the last year.
If confirmed, Warsh would succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell — a previous Trump nominee who has incurred the president’s ire for not heeding his demands — when Powell’s term expires in May.

Warsh served on the Fed Board of Governors from 2006 through 2011, where he had an opportunity to help shape the U.S. economy during one of its greatest periods of turmoil in recent history. Now a fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank, and a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, he also worked as an economic advisor to President George W. Bush.
Experts appear to view Warsh’s nomination with “cautious relief,” said Mark Gertler, a professor of economics at New York University.
Here are three things to know about Warsh and how he might influence the Fed as the agency’s new head.
1. Warsh is a lawyer, not an economist
Like Powell, Warsh has a J.D., not a Ph.D. in economics. Powell was the first Federal Reserve chair in 30 years to not have a doctorate in economics.
“The Fed’s culture is Ph.D. economists on top,” said Aaron Klein, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution.
“I think Powell was pretty deferential to what the professional staff economists’ view was,” he added.
But Warsh may have a different approach, said Klein, who first met him when Warsh was working at the National Economic Council at the White House. Lawyers view the world through a different cultural lens than macroeconomists do, he said.

“The question is: Is Kevin going to shake up the culture of the Fed staff? Or is he going to show deference to the Fed’s Ph.D. economists who are accustomed to running the show?” Klein said.
That could influence his policy decisions, too, Gertler said. Warsh isn’t an economist and doesn’t speak — or necessarily reason — like one, he added.
“The reason I’m not too worried is Powell was not an economist either, but Powell learned over time. In fact, I think (he) learned pretty well,” Gertler said. “I’m hopeful that the same will be true with Warsh — that is, put him in there with a bunch of economists and they will help sharpen his thinking.”
2. In many ways, Warsh is a conservative pick
While not a macroeconomist by education, Warsh has a relatively traditional background for a Fed chair nominee, experts said.
He’s an academic with experience in the executive branch, as well as on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and is knowledgeable about financial markets. During his term as a board member, he was instrumental in helping then-Chair Ben Bernanke navigate the 2008 financial crisis.
“Warsh is a serious guy with a long track record and a deep experience,” Klein said. “Warsh was the Fed board’s interlocutor with the markets during the financial crisis.”
Gertler said that knowledge about financial markets is an important characteristic in a Fed chair, because while interest rate setting isn’t easy, it’s “straightforward.” But understanding the markets requires “specialized expertise,” which Gertler said he thinks Warsh has.

Warsh also has a history of being intellectually conservative, Klein said, with an eye toward reducing government intervention in the markets.
“He’s not some outsider. This is not like Pete Hegseth coming in, or Kristi Noem, or whatever. This is someone who does have some genuine expertise, and he has been at the Fed,” Gertler said.
“He has not come across as overtly political in the way some other candidates did,” he added.
Warsh likely understands the Fed’s culture and is unlikely to “try and tear the place apart,” Gertler noted. That’s giving experts reason for some relief, he said.

Kagan criticizes fellow justices over lack of explanation in recent Supreme Court rulings | PBS News
The Supreme Court has handled a flood of appeals from the Trump administration on its emergency docket, also known as the shadow docket. In the first six months of Trump’s term, the conservatives on the court have sided with him on several key policies, but the decisions have come with little to no explanation for their rationale. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Supreme Court analyst Amy Howe.

Geoff Bennett:
Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan is urging her colleagues on the bench to be more transparent as they make more emergency decisions, including those involving President Trump.
At an event in California, Kagan criticized how the court has handled a flood of appeals from the Trump administration on their emergency docket. The emergency docket, also known as the shadow docket, is a process the Supreme Court uses for urgent cases that are decided quickly with no oral arguments.
-
Elena Kagan, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice:
As we have done more and more on this emergency docket, there becomes a real responsibility that I think we didn’t recognize when we first started down this road to explain things better.
I think that we should hold ourselves sort of on both sides to a standard of explaining why we’re doing what we’re doing.
-
Geoff Bennett:
In the first six months of President Trump’s second term, the conservatives on the court have sided with him on several key policies, including allowing the administration to continue mass firings at multiple government agencies and to cancel certain federal grants. But those decisions have come with little to no explanation for their rationale.
For more on all this, we’re joined now by SCOTUSblog co-founder and “News Hour” Supreme Court analyst Amy Howe.
Always great to have you here.

As we have done more and more on this emergency docket, there becomes a real responsibility that I think we didn’t recognize when we first started down this road to explain things better.
I think that we should hold ourselves sort of on both sides to a standard of explaining why we’re doing what we’re doing.

Geoff Bennett:
In the first six months of President Trump’s second term, the conservatives on the court have sided with him on several key policies, including allowing the administration to continue mass firings at multiple government agencies and to cancel certain federal grants. But those decisions have come with little to no explanation for their rationale.
For more on all this, we’re joined now by SCOTUSblog co-founder and “News Hour” Supreme Court analyst Amy Howe.
Always great to have you here.

Trump’s victory over PBS and NPR ‘bias’ will be ‘devastating’ for rural areas, station leaders say | CNN Business
Editor’s Note: Based on this, I am creating a new posting alert, about NPR and PBS and Education. We need all the information about Trump’s “removal” of these from Federal Support – with your tax dollars. Let’s Stop the Steal! 🙂
President Trump’s cuts to public media funding “will be especially devastating to smaller stations and those serving large rural areas,” PBS’s CEO said Thursday.
Kayla Bartkowski / Getty ImagesCNN — Public television stations will be “forced to make hard decisions in the weeks and months ahead,” PBS CEO Paula Kerger said Thursday, after the Senate voted in the middle of the night to approve a bill that cancels all the federal funding for the network and for NPR.
NPR is a “lifeline” for the “nearly 3-in-4 Americans” who say they rely on public radio, the outlet’s CEO said Thursday after the Senate passed a bill to claw back funding for public media. Tom Brenner / The Washington Post / Getty Images.Radio and TV stations may need to lay off staffers and cut back on programming. Popular shows like “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” may reach fewer people. Big Bird of “Sesame Street” fame isn’t going away, but the financial system that supported him for decades is being stripped away.
Once the House passes the bill, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when television stations still broadcast in black and white.
It is a long-sought victory for President Trump, who has harshly accused PBS and NPR newscasts of being “biased,” and a long-dreaded disruption for local stations that bank on taxpayer support.
The precise effects are hard to predict because other funders may fill in some of the gaps. However, public media executives say that some smaller broadcasters will be forced off the air in the months and years to come.
That’s because stations in rural areas and smaller communities tend to rely more heavily on the federal subsidy. Stations in larger markets typically have a wider variety of other funding sources, like viewer donations and foundation support.
Advocates say the entire system of noncommercial media will become weaker without the foundational support from taxpayers, resulting in fewer original shows and less local news coverage.
Kerger said in a statement that “these cuts will significantly impact all of our stations, but will be especially devastating to smaller stations and those serving large rural areas.”
She pointed out that the stations “provide access to free unique local programming and emergency alerts.”
The two Republican senators who voted against the rescission, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, both said they valued those aspects of public media, even while criticizing perceived bias of some NPR programming.
Most other Republicans, however, concentrated on the bias complaints above all else, and argued that the entire system is obsolete in the streaming age.
David Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, which has campaigned against the federal support for decades, celebrated the “historic rollback” in an X post overnight.
“PBS and NPR were chartered to provide objective journalism,” Bozell wrote. “Instead, we got drag shows for kids, gushing coverage of Democrats, and silence or smears for conservatives.”
Public media officials say critics completely distort what actually airs on stations.
Thursday morning’s report about the clawback on NPR’s “Morning Edition,” for example, was studiously neutral, and the hosts pointed out that NPR management was not involved in the news coverage of its own funding dilemma.
“Nearly 3-in-4 Americans say they rely on their public radio stations for alerts and news for their public safety,” NPR CEO Katherine Maher said in a statement, arguing that NPR is a “lifeline.”
Early Thursday morning, America’s Public Television Stations, an advocacy group for the stations, argued that the rescission “defies the will of the American people,” citing both the polls and the fact that Congress actually allocated the next round of funding earlier this year.

"The decision is a disturbing and self-defeating retreat for American influence abroad. It also portends ever more troubling repression of independent journalism right here in the United States.
"To best appreciate what is at stake in a future without VOA, it is important to understand its past. "
