Scott Bessent also a contender to succeed Fed Chief Powell

Advisers are suggesting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as a potential successor to Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair. While Kevin Warsh, a former Fed official, is also under consideration, Bessent's leadership in economic initiatives and trade negotiations positions him as a strong contender. Trump is expected to announce his decision soon.
