“President-elect Donald Trump is eyeing a new candidate for Treasury Secretary amid internal debate over who should have the role: the former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump is also considering the Wall Street billionaire Marc Rowan.”
“Mr. Trump had been expected to pick either Howard Lutnick, the chief executive of the Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald, or Scott Bessent, the founder of the investment firm Key Square Capital Management and a former money manager for George Soros. And he had been seen as likely to make the selection late last week.”
“But he has been having second thoughts about the top two candidates, and has slowed down his selection process.”
