President Trump's pursuit of a successor for Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve is heating up, with candidates such as National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent publicly criticizing the central bank. Hassett is seen as a strong contender for both a new Fed board seat and potentially Powell's chair next May.
