Inside the Fed: Powell vows he won't be a 'shadow chair,' but a Warsh clash will be tough to avoid
There's only ever one chair of the Federal Reserve Board. When Kevin Warsh is confirmed and sworn in, he will be that chair,
Kevin Warsh is not going to, I don't believe, be able to come in there and convince his colleagues that this is the time to cut rates,

Both Kevin and Jay will be able to interact, and I think the rest of the FOMC will be able to interact, although I grant that it may be challenging,
