Tillis clears path for Warsh

The path for Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve has been cleared following a breakthrough in the Senate.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis dropped his opposition after receiving assurances from the Department of Justice regarding its probe into Jerome Powell.

The confirmation process is now expected to move swiftly, ending months of political drama surrounding the leadership of the US central bank.

The transition comes at a critical time as the Fed grapples with economic uncertainty fueled by global conflicts and energy shocks.
