Is there something noteworthy that we could point to that Chavez-Durimer achieved in her year in office?

President Trump has described his pick to lead the Federal Reserve as straight out of central casting.

But there could be some plot to us today when Kevin Warsh goes before a Senate committee for his confirmation hearing.

NPR's Scott Horsley is with us now to tell us more about this.

Good morning, Scott.

So what are the potential roadblocks for Kevin Warsh?

Yes, well, lowering interest rates is obviously a priority of this president.

He's made it very clear he wants a Fed chairman who's going to do that.

Is Warsh likely to go along with that?

If Walsh ultimately does get confirmed, will he have the power to cut interest rates?

And Scott, before we let you go, how is he likely to answer those questions?

That's NPR's Scott Horsley.

Scott, thank you.

And that's Up First for Tuesday, April 21st.

I'm Leila Faudel.

And I'm Michelle Martin.

Today's episode of Up First was edited by Ruth Sherlock, Emily Kopp, Raphael Nam, Mohamed El-Bardisi, and H.J.

Mai.
