Senate confirms Kevin Warsh as next Federal Reserve chair

The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh on Wednesday as the next chair of the Federal Reserve, Hindustan Times reported on May 13.

Per the report's headline, an official takeover date from Jerome Powell has been set, and the incoming chair's biggest challenge is framed around President Trump — a reference to the political pressure surrounding the central bank that the piece foregrounds.

The available material did not include the confirmation vote count, the handover date itself, or details of the floor debate. Warsh's policy positions and any statements following confirmation were likewise absent from the material reviewed.

The confirmation is the confirmed fact, per Hindustan Times. The transition timeline and the margin of the Senate vote are unverified in this brief; the next procedural step is the formal handover from Powell on the date the report says has been fixed.
