Kevin Hassett speaks outside the White House

We heard from President Donald Trump over the weekend that he has made a decision surrounding who the next Federal Reserve chair will be. It’s a choice unfolding as affordability pressures continue to mount. "I know who I am going to pick, yeah. We’ll be announcing it," Trump told reporters on Sunday. Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council of the United States, is one of the names that experts have been floating as a possible replacement. Hassett spoke outside the White House on Wednesday evening.
