Stephen Miran was narrowly confirmed to the Federal Reserve Board by a 48-47 Senate vote. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski sided with Democrats against the nomination, a move highlighting the political division surrounding the appointment. Miran's confirmation fulfills President Trump's aim to reshape the Federal Reserve. Separately, a vigil was held in the Capitol to honor Charlie Kirk, described as assassinated for his political beliefs. President Trump also announced a Memphis Safe Task Force, deploying federal agencies to combat crime, in response to a request from Tennessee's governor.
