Washington. The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as chair of the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, voting 54-45 to install the former Fed governor when Jerome Powell's term ends later this week. The vote followed a Justice Department decision to move away from its criminal probe into Powell, and several senators cited that development when announcing their votes. The confirmation sets Warsh to lead the Fed amid persistent inflation and rising energy prices this week, with the rate-setting committee reported as divided. Powell plans to remain on the Fed board after his chair term ends, the inspector general will review aspects of the prior investigation, and senators signaled ongoing debate over policy direction and institutional independence.
