Senate confirms Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve governor, with chair vote expectedThe US Senate voted largely along partisan lines to confirm Kevin Warsh as a member of the Fed's Board of Governors, despite many Democrats’ concerns about the central bank’s independence.

The US Senate voted 51 to 45 to confirm Kevin Warsh to a 14-year term as a Fed governor, and moved to invoke cloture on a vote for his nomination to chair the Federal Reserve.
