What's it like over there?

And of course, there are midterm elections coming up later in the year, aren't there?

And Trump's poll ratings are pretty poor at the moment.

Yeah.

Now, we should remind listeners the Fed is supposed to operate independently of the executive.

Of course, we'll see how that plays out over time.

But Jerome Powell is actually remaining on with the Fed.

He's going to remain on the board, a position he can hold until January 2028.

So that's going to create a very interesting dynamic, isn't it, between Warsh and the board?

Yeah, interesting.

All right.

Finally, Keith, when will we kind of hear for the first time in a meaningful way from Warsh and get a sense of the sense of direction, if you like, in terms of interest rates?

OK, Keith Duggan, thank you for joining us.
