As I think Rachel mentioned before, Warsh has been around for a long time.
He has relationships on the Hill.
He has passed through a confirmation hearing before, albeit with different people, of course, or many different lawmakers sitting in the seats that would be there to confirm him or judge him.

Catherine Rampell of MSN Now and The Bulwark, thanks so much.

Appreciate you.
Thanks, Kimberly.
Have a great weekend.
